Tech jobs exist because of automation and they eventually go away because automation. But every dollar saved in salary is available to spend on hiring people to do other jobs. It works out in the long run, but that doesn't make it easy on those who have to transition.
I think it would be useful if employers eliminating jobs could have sort of a reverse auction where other employers offer comparable jobs in exchange for a portion of the savings. And the workers could either take their severance or accept one of those offers with no interruption in their benefits or work.
