I recently experienced the impact of the ongoing layoffs affecting major companies like Amazon, Walmart, and FedEx. As someone who has been following the trends in the job market, it's disheartening to see that the so-called 'low-hire, low-fire economy' is becoming a reality. While tech companies have been hit hard, it seems that other sectors are starting to feel the pressure as well. I’ve noticed CFOs are advising their boards to prepare for a potential recession, even as these companies report record profits. It feels like a mix of greed and caution, as they want to avoid being caught off guard like during previous economic downturns. This situation has made me more anxious about job security and the overall stability of the job market.
