Complete opposite of the truth. The whole point of brexit and everything about free-market neoliberalism, de-regulation etc is to allow businesses to "milk the system" with as little constraint as possible.
The childish ideology says that this will somehow work out the best for everybody. But it does not, never has, and socialism in its many forms exists precisely to correct this and fill the gaps, "for the many not the few".
Globalisation has made things more difficult for many by shipping jobs abroad. Automation adds to this by reducing the number of jobs required. These add up to a large class of people in insecure and low paid jobs, and/or dependant on benefits. It's not their own fecklessness which has taken their jobs and opportunities away and created mass unemployment.
