With everything happening in the world right now, economic uncertainty, layoffs in some sectors, potential war and rapid changes in technology, I find myself thinking more about job security than I used to. Do global headlines make you rethink everything lately?

I find it better to stay off the news or at least not read into it to much. Thru all the other turmoil, have I lost my job for the past 15 years? No. Everything is noise until it happens. The only thing you can do is be prepared. Don’t stress over the news.

I understand that mindset. Headlines can make everything feel unstable, but day to day work reality often changes much more slowly. For me the focus stays on staying adaptable and keeping skills sharp rather than reacting to every news cycle.

I think a lot about the news and everything that's happening. I built up my emergency fund after the pandemic, and I'm very glad I did. I'm not expecting to be laid off, but anything could happen with all the chaos in the world. It's good to hope for the best but try to be prepared for whatever may happen.

I think building an emergency fund after the pandemic was one of the smartest lessons many of us learned. I did something similar because uncertainty feels easier to handle when you know you have some financial breathing room.

I have been rethinking everything every single day. It is hard not to worry when there is so much uncertainty. I have friends that are looking for jobs and haven't been able to find anything for months.

Every day I wake up with a nightmare that I have been terminated. It is just a weird feeling I go through everyday

I try to not let all of that into my day to day

Hi. I’m relatively new to recruiting and my role is primarily in supporting recruiters. I’ve noticed that even when I include a specific request or call to action, that my emails receive a response less than 50% of the time. Is this lack of responsiveness indicative of company culture or more about the culture of recruiting, since they receive so many emails? Thoughts? I’ve not experienced this rate of responsiveness in any organization I’ve worked for. I am beginning to take it personally.
