I imagine for most people, even an average job with reasonable pay that seemed to be okay would be far better than anyone they've worked for. I had 1 day job ever and the company was a fucking mess, so if I got a job at McDonalds tomorrow, it'd probably be "awesome" and they'd be "the best company I've ever worked for", which is why I don't work for anyone else.
The sad thing is I didn't realize how shitty of a job it was until I was no longer in it because I had dedication to who I was working for...which is what Ruth et al have, which again is not really a fault even for a new company.
Put it like this - with how jobs/the economy are right now, if you had a reasonable-paying day job vs. working for yourself and your employer asked you to help instill trust in them, would you say "I'll do what I can but I have to be tentative because I haven't worked for you long"? They'd be like "k, we'll find someone else for $10 an hour who'll be happy to do what we need, thanks." Yes, driven by true merit someone wouldn't do that, but most people are in tough positions right now and won't think twice about it. Heck, if things get any worse, Achmed might suck a dick for 2 rocket launchers.
