"What I'm trying to understand is do companies not think these actions will limit their ability to hire in the future?
As I see it:
- there is higher supply of talent than demand for talent
- offer enough money next time and see all the doubts disappear (come on, there are companies with a terrible reputation that have been around forever and employ tens or even hundreds of thousands of people)
- companies need to survive now before thinking about tomorrow, especially a company like Flexport, which appears to be quite fragile from a financial standpoint.
The relationship between employees and employers, especially when the latter are big companies, has always been more adversarial than cooperative.
In this context, I don't expect my employer's best, and in return I certainly do not give my best. A lesson I learned after having been let go.
It has worked fine for me since then.

Flexport's behavior was not good in this case but I suspect a lot of future employees will still choose to work there if they make attractive offers.
