A previous bullish outlook and now a weak expected earnings period

Definitely not a sign of economic strength... Hoping it's related to specific weak areas of the economy (ex. Energy and FS) and not a broad economic weakening

We're already in a 3 quarter earnings recession (lower earnings YOY, quarter over quarter) heading for quarter 4

^overall S&P 500

OP - ha! We've actually kicked the market's ass...doubled in 3.5 years

Let’s talk about wrongful termination. The other day I was fired in the middle of the day without any warning. My colleagues called me because they were confused on why the Talent Manager dismissed me from the chat. I didn’t know what they were referring to. So I called my PM to ask what was happening, and she said that she just got off the phone with the TM and said they were terminating my contract on the spot due to me speaking up about micromanaging. No explanation just kicked out. Advice?
