This is an interesting take, and on the surface I'd buy this. I think the assessment from many companies was "we're hiring because of where the world is clearly going" (ecom sustains a 20% lift overnight, healthcare sees a 37x increase in telemedicine use, etc), but perhaps a lot of this was just "we want the talent because other people want the talent."
I'll definitely dig into this take further!
