It's not about the workers. It's not about the market.

Hiring all the staff at an inflated rate to put a competitor out of business is good for the staff that got hired.

Without competition the dominant player makes more, without other places to work dominant player pays less.

> It’s not for the greater good.

Your not getting paid because your valuable your getting paid out because its anti-competitive. Paying you more to bankrupt a competitor is no different than dumping product to put them out of business ... Secure your market position and then jack up the prices and lower the salary.

You’re absolutely getting paid because you’re valuable, otherwise Google wouldn’t need to buy you out to enact their anti-competitive behavior. You wouldn’t be a threat in the first place.
