Fears of a recession are reasonably causing people to take a second look at their job security. Seeing as many lawyers are working in specialty tax within PA how many of you are worried about a potential slowdown/layoffs within specialty tax? If not why do you feel you won’t be as affected?

The update really solidifies the cringe for me 🫣

I don’t think it’s clear from that one comment. I wouldn’t start telling people that layoffs are coming.
Also they could have been talking about just one division or team, no need to alarm everyone without more info.
I think it’s a layoff and I would tell people I trusted. Which might only be one person.
I have one person I trust, sorry you don’t.
I would not say anything. If you did, what does it change?
It sounds like a layoff is coming but not enough information to alarm everyone. Remember, it's only a secret until you tell one person.
Layoffs will be coming. I wouldn’t tell anyone other than one person.
Take this opportunity to be the best at your job. Looks like your boss needs to fire people, but needs a lot of ammo to justify it. Don't call out sick, stay late, and don't contribute to any rumors.
1000%
I'd share what I believed to be talk of layoffs
Pearly your boss isn’t very good with situational awareness. You lose that if you tell anyone. I would get yourself prepared since you may know.
If you aren’t confident on what you heard , why would you create stress in the rumor mill? Surely you’ve got better things to talk about, right?
I am sure this person has nothing better to do .
Could be anything. U are only sowing trouble for yourself. I highly advise you keep your mouth shut. I’m not management by the way. Just someone who knows it’s better to lay low!
Maybe he got mid weed last time and wants to blaze one better.
I would not. It’s too vague - it’s just “next round” which could be tomorrow or next year
Cuts at the kneecaps: don't be a weed...💙☮️
What other signs do you have to support your feelings?
If the corporate world has taught me anything, it’s these very few things: you can trust no one, no one is your friend, no one is as they seem, and no one cares about you. You are literally every man for himself. I wouldn’t say a damn word. They will just throw you under the bus when it comes time to ask who started the rumor. Never fails.
Has there even been a first round?
