Everybody is not you.

The market is bleak - but don’t mistake everyone’s leverage - or understanding their leverage - for your own.

Perfect example of a non-sequitur. Irrespective of whether or not the statement is true, it has no bearing on the veracity of the original claim: that in the current market, the majority of workers simply do not have this leverage.

Same can be said back to you. Obviously mine and 50+ acquaintances experience is not the entire world but geographical clusters and/or work-area clusters do apply.

Can you pick up the phone and be in the next job the next week?
