Actually it does from the corporate AND individual perspective. Corporations compete for a percentage of market share which is the farthest thing from infinite. There is a small window to eek out advantage when new markets are discovered before competitors enter, but the market size is still finite. Basic economics 101. On an individual level, you are competing for the total available payroll expenditures (which are, incidentally a function of the corporations take of the market share generally speaking).
Always bugs me when people say the economy isn't a zero sum game when it is so blatantly wrong. Scarcity of resources is the underlying principle of economics.
