The jobs didn't follow because "big tech" lost what was left of its collective mind and put their heads all the way up each others asses.
The jobs were never going to follow either way. It was a way to make more workers so they could pay everyone less. If there's 100 people practically begging for your job for half the pay, good luck negotiating a raise.
