Unfortunately, there is not enough demand for knowledgable humans, to keep up with the overwhelming supply.

Typical universe.

I've run out of sympathy for those who can't distinguish their survivorship bias from actual success.

The reality is companies go through cycles of hiring and firing, something to do with interest rates. Times like these is when new small businesses are supposed to form, and I fear downsizing businesses let their best and worst go during these times: their star performers know how to survive and are least likely to come back with a wrongful termination lawsuit....and their worst are easily shown to be inadequate for the role anyway.

An "intelligent person" knows not to keep their eggs in one basket anyway. Such as our Professor in the story.
