The software business has been trying to break the back of its workforce for decades. There was a huge anti-trust lawsuit about it in like 2011 and there will likely be another about the mass coordinated layoffs and hiring freezes in 2023 (complete with tacky EPS beat on tacky EPS beat). This isn’t unique to software of course, the attack on working people is broad spectrum in 2024, but it’s probably the last white collar profession to go down in terms of labor pricing power. Even five or ten years ago it was a seller’s market. |

I'm curious of where we are on the curve. Is San Francisco 2024 anywhere near Detroit 2013? My guess would be that it's a "no": San Francisco is in a much more attractive natural location and white collar professions tend to have more flexible individuals than blue collar ones.
