I wonder if the company will respond to this sort of incentive by hiring hundreds of thousands of new employees to absorb the “profit” rather than pay employees far in excess of market rate.

Isn't there a massive 'labor shortage'? If that's already the case, that proposal seems even more impossible. You could hire non-tech workers and pivot to other industries where you can employ other people.

I suppose they could try outsourcing again/more and see how that works out.
