100% this. Employers know they can turn up the heat so to speak by making the workplace less enjoyable and more people will leave b/c of that. That saves them from having to lay off people. I think it's important to note layoffs tend to push stock prices down and that's what these folks specifically care about b/c that's what's good for their pocket book.

citation needed. Not my experience at all. Anecdotal example: META.

Yea sometimes the share prices even go up bc the market sees “efficiency”
Not "sometimes", most of the time.
