All this talk about tariffs and potential for recession makes me feel a little uncomfortable about the future. I’m not too worried but don’t feel as confident. Do you feel like tariff announcements affect the safety of your specific role?

I don’t feel like it affects my role as much, but it will affect my day to day life with just more uncertainty and rising costs :(

I’m mentally preparing for the worst but still hopeful it won’t be as bad as we think and some of these will be walked back.

The trade war may wind up affecting everyone, especially if the recession predictions are accurate. As prices rise and spending dries up, companies across the board will be squeezed to cut costs. And the layoffs will have a domino effect throughout society in general. Anyone who isn't concerned just doesn't comprehend the situation.

This is spot on. All this uncertainty and back and forth makes it so tough for businesses and consumers to confidently make spending decisions.

Even if it doesn't affect my specific role in the way of layoffs, it's still going to impact my life. Increased costs and a floundering stock market are going to hit everyone hard regardless of how "safe" your job is.

Totally! The stock market pain is already very real and does make things feel less secure even if your position is safe.

I had the weirdest dream. Criminals were put in a gated community under observation and they had to successfully fake their own death to get out. They were given too many drugs and alcohol. But they end up killing each other or suiciding and no one is left. Once everyone kills themselves they bring in new inmates. It was insane.

My brain needs a rehab now. 🥺

FL peoples: I signed a lease for a new place to start May 1 as my current landlord sold the unit I'm in. Turns out, the buyer wants to keep renting the unit and asked if I want to stay. Of course I want to stay. My new lease hasn't started so I'm pretty sure I can easily back out. For the new lease, I'm still pending full approval from a condo association as I have to do an in person interview. I have paid first months rent in advance. Is there anyway to get that money back?

Situation: got an offer from firm X; highly likely to get a better offer from firm Y but official offer would take a couple of more weeks in best case scenario. However, firm X’s offer validity about to run out. Would you: (1) accept X’s offer now but rescind later if Y converts (2) ask X for additional time to decide (they’re “prestigious” and may not offer additional time...) (3) Play straight, decline X and hope Y converts (4) any other creative ideas ...???
