I think “trapped with no ability to switch out” is a bit much. Pretty sure they just need to give their notice.
There are enough positive economic arguments you can make about working in the O&G industry to explain why it’s a sensible for some people without needing to make arguments implying that job/retirement security in other industries are somehow bad things.
