Ever since layoffs people at my company use being “slammed” as some weird status symbol. They brag about 70-hour weeks like it makes them important and unfirable. I don’t want to play that game but I’m worried I’ll be overlooked if I don’t look busy enough. Do you have to play these silly games where you work?

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”.
