Unless your company had for some reason enough margin to just spend a lot more money than the competition to train and retain workers that you largely didn't need for a decade you were forced by the market to cut that corner. Market capitalism is inherently unsuited for long-term thinking. Even if everybody saw the cliff a decade ago, they all had to run towards it or be outcompeted by those who did. See also all other problems that can be externalized, e.g. pollution.
Tackling long-term problems and externalities must be done by someone outside the market.
