And when they again need people, they'll whine about how no one wants to work for them. Or how workers are "taking advantage."

Yeah but as the shareholders get used to companies laying off workers to "cut costs", any company not doing it sees their shares tank. Which is Not Ok™️, so they keep firing people so the execs can pay themselves bigger and bigger bonuses over high stock prices.
