> losing their livelihoods
I know that this is a real expression, and you’re using it correctly of course, but the caliber of employees we are talking about here are not ending up begging on the streets. They’re being forced to interview for other jobs where their talents might be put to better use. A bummer but not the end of the world. I’d prefer this to having a bunch of dysfunctional, uncompetitive companies that did makework programs to avoid having difficult conversations.

You can interview as much as you want, but chances are you have more competition for fewer jobs than you ever have before.
