"Displaced workers get new jobs at the only companies still hiring."

I used to be a hiring manager in robotics. It was _impossible_ to find good workers. Now, I am a laid off roboticist who found I had my pick of jobs at smaller companies who were suffering from big-tech's vacuum hiring policy. It was always just moat-making, until it got too expensive.

I mean yeah, that's one way to spin it. But it's interesting to observe the dynamics in the work force and how that benefits some smaller companies that were having a hard time hiring before.
