Anyone feeling stressed about the economy? With the latest round of tariffs and stock plummeting, I fear layoffs are coming

Just me 🥹

Definitely not just you. We're all busy panicking 😅😂 And Easter. But mostly panicking.

Ridiculously stressed. I finally accepted a couple of months ago that we're going to be in a bad place for a very long time. I cut my already small grocery budget by 30%. I completely stopped all spending on anything but the absolute essentials. I know that at some point, my savings account will be the only thing keeping a roof over my head so I'm saving as much as I can. I have started thinking about what skills I should develop, or a side hustle to start that could help me out.

Definitely feeling stressed. My company is doing layoffs and everyone is feeling the heat and stressing about being laid off. Its a very challenging time that is for sure.

Did a first interview with hr rep, went very well. she set up the hiring manager meeting for a few days later. Met with the manager. Another great conversation, went over time and was told I’d hear back about panel set up. Following day I get a request from hr rep to “continue the conversation” with manager. This is set up Tuesday.
Why do you think the manager wants to meet again? Good? Bad? I felt great about the interview when we ended.
