Another point that is missed, is that many of these tech companies are now still net positive when comparing new headcount added during pandemic VS the 2013 layoffs. You can see the data here for MSFT, Google, Amazon, Meta and Spotify. Yes,

I think we are talking cross purposes. I agree with your evaluation that this is an improvement over current state. I did not cite whether you think it is good or bad that intelligence agents could spy on this data. I was referring to the f
