“Corporations are evil” is just a slogan to highlight the fact that corporations don’t exist to serve the common good or for the betterment of society — those are byproducts.
In the U.S., corporations exist for the lawful purpose to make money for its shareholders. You being treated well just happens to be the strategy that corporation chose to retain your skilled labor to produce whatever service or product your corporation is selling.
See Twitter as an easy example — a corporation that treated its employees well and retained skilled labor to ostensibly better public discourse. It found a way to make a lot of money for its shareholders in a billionaire’s impulse purchase and forced him to buy it in a court of law.
What did the billionaire do as one of its first things? That could have been you, and hence why “corporations are evil.” It’s just a legal vehicle to make money.
That’s a strawman argument, and a poor one.
