Heard Ebola is making a comeback. Goodnight, sweet prince. 😘

In reference to everything else besides ugly racism, take the time to channel this anxiety into thinking about solutions that will bring you peace.

Layoffs are scary - but what other sources of income can you generate to protect yourself? Think about a master plan.

Recession - The stock market is SO great to learn about and invest in right now! Take the time to learn and watch YouTube videos and research how to make it work for you.

COVID - what a weird time we’re living in but a wonderful opportunity to channel free time to work at the items stated above

Awake and reading / watching to educate myself on current events. Not sure how to make an 8am work call seem normal anymore given everything going on in NYC.

Awake. Weird sleep schedule and locked into the news. Shits crazy

Who is still in denial about a housing correction? The Fed just made another .75% increase. Powell said they won’t stop until inflation is 2%. He also said a recession would be better than the consequences of unchecked inflation. He announced he will bring rates to a “restrictive level” until “the job is done”. He said that labor demand needs to soften (ie: layoffs). He very explicitly said he wants to slash demand and that housing needs a “correction”.

Having trouble landing a decent job, I am 4 years post bachelors, environmental science. I can not seem to land a job above minimum wage. My last position (horticultural assistant) found myself taking on a good amount of projects that were being left unfulfilled, due to coworker politics (a few co worker’s wanted to see the supervisor fall short of expectations) in addition I had difficulty with my manager( sexual harassment) I rejected their advances, and I was laid off in December

I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?
