Yeah I'm curious how it shakes out with these kinds of moves. I don't know anything about Flexport, but to me it's just more signs of a broader phenomenon of copious investment money drying up.
It's been "easy" for a long time, and lots of cultural practices built up around hiring and managing staff that look "normal" to people who got into the industry in the last 10 years but more of an aberration for those of us who have been around longer.
We've had a lot of bargaining power as a profession. We still do, but we'll have less. So I think you'll find that, yes, future candidates will have short memories. But more than likely, they won't need them, because a lot of these companies will simply cease to exist.
