Bonus Episode: More Job Market Clown World Insanity 🤡

We've nosedived right into Idiocracy. Bad news is good news. Slowcessions. Soft landings. The labor market will stay red hot and you can job hop for more money forever . . . 😵‍💫

The flow chart looks something like this:
Deny there are problems and tell people that layoffs are not coming. ➡️ Even as layoffs start, turn a blind eye. Have "economists" tell the public that mass layoffs are not coming in Q4 of 2022. ➡️ While layoff announcements litter the news, keep squawking about The Great Resignation and tell people it is STILL a workers' market! ➡️ Tell people that even if it takes a few months to find employment again, it's OK. That's still really good. 🤦🏻‍♀️

IMO, it is so very important to rough out a job loss survival plan. I hope you never need it, but I think it's better to be prepared than scared. If you freelance or operate a business, have you created a Plan B on how to generate revenue in a serious downturn?
