In some industries companies are well aware of what others are doing such as 'cost saving' redundancies, or "adjusting" the wages of contractors, that always seem to happen at the same time. In this case a lot of companies and CEOs actually think 'it's what the other guy is doing as well' and 'it's good for the company'. Except it's not the same, and there is a competitive advantage of getting the best people from the other guy. Companies that are doing this, are losing their best people, and their competitors are gaining them. If remote work and 'the internet' didn't work, we wouldn't have nice things like Linux, Postgres and so on.
