It's always hard to know about rumors, sometimes people have inside info, and sometimes idle talk gets repeated and starts to seem plausible. Just looking at the general conditions in the economy it's hard to know what would happen to stop the trend of layoffs. So it's probable that things stay the same or perhaps get worse. Maybe I'm too pessimistic, but I just don't see much to make me feel positive about the upcoming year.
Sentiment plays a big role in the economy. If in your day to day most people around you seem pessimistic, it’s probably how most of the country feels. More uncertainty leads to less spending leads to companies contracting.
2026 is probably going to continue the downward spiral unless people start feeling a bit more positive after the midterms
Great point on sentiment. Hopeful 2026 is better overall job market-wise

Things have been very weird at my job. Like we’re super short staffed, there’s a “management restructuring” we’re all beyond burnt out. I don’t think lay offs are coming but I do think time are about to get interesting.
Sounds like they’ve already downsized as much as they can! That’s a bad environment to be in too. Sorry you’re going through that!
Hoping to see them even out if anything. We’ve probably seen the worst of it this year, but I also wouldn’t take it as a sign of things getting a lot better.
I hope so!
