Don't know if it's lying.

>Over half (58%) of 6,000 professionals who responded to a recent Glassdoor poll said they’d never return to a company who laid them off. In the tech sector specifically, just 46% of workers said they’d boomerang. Men were slightly more likely to consider boomeranging than women, and older workers were more open-minded than younger ones.

It's not a super majority, but 54-58% does feel like "masses". I can see it both ways here.

Even this isn't very relevant. So they won't return to the company that laid them off, but that doesn't mean they won't work for a different company that laid off other people. I highly doubt any of these companies will have a hard time hiring people because of their layoffs. In the end, people will still go work for them because they pay at the top of the market.

Sure, but I think the point is less "companies that layoff lose good employees for good" and more "if you layoff employee you lose that tribal knowledge forever". Is that something that a company will die from? Probably not, at least not in one fell swoop. But having half the people feel that way is some non-neglible brain drain.

Remember that part of the original reason the Big companies paid that much was as an anti-poaching measure. They didn't want competition getting top talent nor for top talent to be future competitors as they startup their own business. I wonder if the latter is going to pop up more with these kinds of movements.

I'll go work for a different company that laid off other people...unless it was for the same reason. I'm not doing a full-time RTO for any company.

The title didn't imply otherwise to me.

It's meaningless until after those people are offered a substantial wage after living through food insecurity for a while.
