Ahh a nice pro union post by someone who has never been in a union 😂 if you love a hierarchy based off YOE and bureaucratic red tape, then you will LOVE a union. - someone who has been in a union

Economic cycles are natural. Just like winter follows autumn. Trying to flatten it would only create more bubbles.
Just be aware of the cycles and when times are good, look around to see if you are positioned well for the predictable cycles.

More protection = much slower hiring on the upswing, flattened growth, and limited job hopping.

See Europe. It’s not all bad, but it’s not free. there are trade offs.

AP1, it’s a mixed case. The recovery can often be stronger due to worker retention, which is often supported by the government. The slowing effect typically hits after a few months or years of growth when companies need to step up way above their pre crisis level. One example is Germany with their government funding for employees that are not required during a downturn (“Kurzarbeit”)

So you would rather a company be forced to keep all employees and then have to go bankrupt? And now there are no jobs for anyone.

P1, we have all tried to explain it but he seems to want 99 dollars for the 100 he bills and also wants to be on the board so there aren’t massive layoffs

Looks like someone has been underperforming for the last few months and got a pass because of the red hot economy 😂

The government already does too much. Do you really want it to do more?!?

Yeah…the money to pay people actually needs to come in first. It’s not a charity.

Interview- just because the old way of doing things have worked some what doesn’t mean they don’t need to adjust for upcoming headwinds

Also, I worked at Union Pacific where half were union and the other half were not and those that were in the union got screwed on perks (holidays, retirement match, etc.). Unions are not all sunshine and rainbows.

Well for privately held companies, those are employees that own and make decisions. So it doesn’t really apply there as much, bud.

You signed up for it. At will employment means what it means…

49 out of 50 states are at will states. Only Montana is the exception and it’s not a big exception

Hi all -
Sorry for the long rant, but could use advice or just encouragement.

Got laid off for the first time in my career 3 weeks ago. I have 10 years of PM experience (mostly ecommerce & experimentation). I was fortunate in the past to have had recruiters scout me directly so this is the first time in over a decade that I am applying to everything that I’m qualified for, mostly qualified for, and way over qualified for with zero leads. Only 3 interviews thus far that didn’t go forward.
