Completely agree with your awesome comment except for one niggle...

> it's net neutral for most companies

My take is that if there were only two companies this would be true. Considering that no company employs more than a tiny fraction of the skilled labour market the vast majority of labour innovation occurs elsewhere.

A company would have to be doing an immense amount of innovation in order to not have a net benefit from free movement of labour.

We could talk about whether the Googles, NSAs, or Amazons of the world hit this threshold, but I'd argue that nobody else does.
