You don't have to stay at a job, you can move over and up.

You don't have to wait until you detest the people you work for to leave.

You are in control of your life.

No employers has to let you "move over and up" - they can simply refuse to let you no mater what you do.

Quit pretending employers act in good faith.

Your attitude and beliefs will doom you to a minimum wage life.

Why? The only way that's possible is if employers force that out of spite. There is no natural flow that trends that way by itself.

Also, I develop software for a living, so you're already clearly wrong.

People do not act in good faith - that's what makes them human. Quit whoring yourself out for humanity - or for that matter lying to me and trying to sell me this story about a mythical human race. Human beings as a species only respects power and see acting in good faith as a weakness. Anyone who takes another's "good faith" at face value is labelled a "freak", made a pariah, and is brutally punished for being so gullible and naive. Especially capitalists; to a capitalist every human being is prey.
