I’m just brainstorming here, but do layoffs pave the way for hiring new grads at entry level wages, with more cutting edge knowledge?
Sure, that overlooks the loss of tacit knowledge that keeps the company running. I haven’t actually figured out yet how large companies can keep packaging out their senior employees that glue their disorganized systems together with undocumented knowledge.
That’s an interesting question. Either there isn’t much tacit knowledge in the company that they can’t put in onboarding documentation, or the company is focusing on short term gains at the cost of long term stability
What is the logical progression to this kind of a thing. Is there going to be a turning point or is bottom a long long way to go?

Neither have the large companies. The only difference between you and them is that you have acknowledged this loss of knowledge.
This is just a game to them, they have nothing to lose no matter what happens.
