I said that there is no "talent scarcity" and anyone claiming that there is can count themselves among the rank of bad management. If management can't attract and retain talent, it's by definition bad management.
no, you are missing the usary aspect of market forces, where getting more talent giving fewer privileges for $PAY is the stated objective. People who practice skilled work are blind to business motives to abuse skilled work specifically, because "why would you do that." The commoditization of replaceable "skilled" work roles, with increasing oversight and metrics, is absolutely a factor in high tech.
