I think about this moment from @ifbookspod.bsky.social a lot when it comes to the game and tech industries www.buzzsprout.com/2040953/epis... Layoffs today are a tool to suppress workers' wages more than anything else

A selected quote from If Books Could Kill podcast episode on "Who Moved My Cheese", chosen to highlight the information one of the hosts, Michael Hobbes, found in the book "Downsizing America".

Michael: This is exactly what we're getting into. So, for this, I read a really fascinating book called Downsizing in America, which was thunderously boring, but just like a list of all of the statistics about everything we know about downsizing, basically. And what's so interesting about all these mass layoffs in the 1990s is that most of these companies quietly hired more positions than they cut. So, company will announce, like, “Oh, we're cutting 10,000 jobs.” And then you look two years later and they've hired 12,000 people. There's a lot of reasons why these don't really work as far as stock price. I mean, a lot of the layoffs were being done very quickly. So, there's surveys of HR managers where they say they have less than two months to decide who gets cut.

The hosts continue later in the same episode:

Peter: It's not Google's doing layoffs. It's like tech is conducting layoffs in mass.

Michael: And this is what the book found that it's like, if you look at all of the impact of downsizing, it gets very granular in this book. It's super interesting is that basically the only real effect of downsizing is it keeps wages lower.

Peter: Sick. Yeah.

Michael: So, if you have an entire sector, which happened in numerous sectors in the 1990s, everybody gets fired. All of a sudden, the market is flooded with applicants.

Peter: Jackpot.

Michael: And so, they can keep wages either where they are or they can actually lower wages and get people back in because there's so many people desperate for jobs.

three panel comic. First panel guy on computer. There's a window behind him with women playing volleyball outside.
Sun is shining and he is trying to block the bright light with his hand. Second panel he's gotten up and is closing the curtains third panel. He's back at his computer in the dark illuminated by only the computer screen. This is to illustrate my own tendency to ignore the need to touch grass and be less online sometimes.
