If wages are stagnating all over surely this is a bad economic sign, what do you think the consequences of this will be?

It’s not just that wages are stagnating, inflation is also ticking back up due to tariffs. Stagflation never ends well. Interest rate cuts will help the form but will hurt the latter.

Oh god good luck.

It does seem that the bad job market has driven wages downward, which is simply how markets work. And there could be a domino effect from that, of course. If people cut back on their buying that affects the economy and things start to trend, or spiral, downward. So sure, there could be some pretty negative consequences.

Time for another crash.

It’s not just that wages are stagnant. The US stock market is booming. That combination signals “a recession for employees, while growth for employers” in a way that essentially fractures the economy. A crash or other significant disruption to realign is inevitable.

IMO it signals stagflation on a global scale - the problem we have is inflation still hasn't come down much (or is still going up) depending where you live; yet wages remain stagnant, cost of living is rising, good and services costs are still too high.

I think we're at the precipice of change - lot's of consumers are stopping their spending, because everyone has to prioritize where they spend money, what bills come first and where we make sacrifices.

Like other recessionary or times of inflation; consumer spending will be the determining factor of how bad the recession is. Businesses will conservative with the purse strings: less or lower raises, layoffs, restructuring, etc. This drives wages down, offer less job openings, and businesses hesitate to spend money.

Wages will come up - but not until there are signs of a recovery, aside from someone highly skilled, in-demand or where the role is critically needed.

Overall, I think we need a deflationary recession to reset prices - this will let our dollar go farther so businesses don't have to keep upping pay and we the people can have a better quality of life - BUT, this means pain during a recession between now, and when we recover.

Wages have always been slow to rise

Asking for wife who's also in banking. If she got ~$100k in signing bonus in 2019 for 1 year commitment in CA and started FT in July 2020, assuming she leaves before July 2021, can her employer claw back full amount in California? Some say it's much tougher to do so under CA law but wonder if anyone has any insights. Banks won't likely care about analyst signing bonuses, but associate bonus at EB with diversity bonus can be significant. If she quits before, she won't be going to another bank.

Hi Fishes,

I am looking for single occupancy in 2BHK or semi-furnished 1BHK.
Location: Wadgaon Sheri, Kalyani Nagar, Yerwada, Viman Nagar.

Please help!

VENT: I feel completely demotivated after our new FOW announcement and it gave me whiplash. Working here has been a dream, so it feels weirdly hurtful to be publicly celebrated as part of the “expanded talent pool” in announcements, but be told privately that my return to the office will be accompanied by a massive pay cut because of where I live. I didn’t choose to live here/move, the company chose ME where I’m at. I feel like I don’t belong because everyone else seems happy with this.
