Is the economy already tanking?

My company is about to do layoffs... Ugh.
I'm hopefully safe, given I know early, but you never know. And even if safe I know the workload is going to be brutal afterwards because we are going to lose so many good people.

I hate this crap. I hate business

I'm with you.

My company has had layoffs the past three years.

I don't expect one this year.

It is as you have stated. We all had to pick up the jobs of those who were let go.

I've never been busier at work. I don't feel that I am keeping up or ever going to catch up.

At this point, I just hope I can hold out for 3 more years then get a package.

I thought you were referring to the trade issues as "free market economic policies" and asking the parallel question about liberals.

OK - no worries.

I was included in discussions of things to cut today so I'm feeling better .. Unless they are absolute dicks and involving me in my own demise.

I'm grateful we've lived below our means so I will be ok. But it reinforces that I want to retire in 11 years. Absolutely F working in corporate America into my 60s (if we all haven't lost our jobs to AI by then anyhow)
