> In other words, when COVID hit and tech companies saw large surges because investors and CEOs saw industries leaping 5-10 years into the future overnight, they hired to support that growth.

I guess the question is whether leadership could have anticipated a retraction of the economy just a few years later. But this made me think of another question. How much job security can we reasonably expect in the first place? If we want jobs to be secure, then that needs to be legislated or people need to unionize (and take the pay cut). I'm aware that I have no say in how the business is run and I can basically be let go either anytime or within a short time and I need to prepare myself for that.
