There are a lot of defacto cartels where all of the corporations determine a ceiling on wages they won't go over.

There was a big case with Apple and other Silicon Valley corporations were found to have colluded to not hire employees working for any of the other companies.

And there's some factories in Asia that confiscate foreign worker's passports.

Nobody is claiming that workers' ability to move jobs is never compromised by employees. The question is, is there any evidence to back up that Id employees are in this situation as commenters are claiming in this thread?

And it sure looks like the answer is "no", given that the best people can come up with is point to a decades old no-poaching agreement and speculate that something like that might be happening at Id.
