It's not guaranteed the employer will contribute. Half of them (including mine) do not. It's simply a tax deferred portfolio in that case.

Thanks for the insightful replies, I'm really sorry for you guys living in the "land of the free", at-will employment, union busting, shitty retirement options etc etc.

I hope either things improve (doubt) or you can leave. ❤️

Would that I could. If it were me alone I probably would have left the country years ago. But I have my husband and he is close to his family. They are already unhappy that we don't live in the same state as them. (My own family are pieces of Trumper Evangelical shit and I don't speak to them anyway)
