I think it is closer to that. A lot of people were complacent in their jobs, and not nearly tapping their potential (market or otherwise). I can't tell you how

I think it is closer to that. A lot of people were complacent in their jobs, and not nearly tapping their potential (market or otherwise). I can't tell you how many people I know or heard 2nd hand got furloughed or laid off, then landed a significantly better paying gig and never went back (sometimes wildly different industries). If they were never forced to change, I guarantee most would have stayed.
