We also have to consider that there are still a shite ton of unfilled white-collar positions.

Labor participation continues to be stagnant.

While we are headed to a serious recession, this isn’t a normal one. I’m not sure anyone can accurately predict what this one will look like

Then you want to be an hourly employee, and not salary. I'm assuming you are willing to take a pay cut, in exchange for overtime?
Props on proving the point. I bet you don't even realize you're doing it

Seems to be about a thread a month about how college grads can't buy a home anymore, yet boomers were able to do it. Also telling this is the only portion of my post you chose to respond to.

Do you want to be hourly or salary? It's a simple question.

My company is one of a few, with a relatively low turnover margin in my industry. The people that have experience, and that have been with the company 10 years or more, tend to stay with the company. This is common amongst most companies.

I'm as concerned as the rest of you about our shaky economy.
It's not helped by policymakers and the Fed both being completely flat footed on everything the past year.

But keep in mind that Michael Burry is also in a heavy short position and is trying to hasten what he sees is coming. He's using his twitter influence to do just that.

Out of curiosity, if someone took a pay cut to go hourly, what would you consider a fair number of hours per week for them to work to at minimum match what they were making previously.

My previous owner had the same mindset as you and anytime someone agreed the number would be around the 60 hour mark, which is laughable.

What do you think is fair?

And by entitlement, he means that the average price for a starter home today is $230k vs $47k in 1980, and that construction of starter homes is way down and in the busiest markets they're being bought above price by blackrock.

We completely replaced our billing department from oversees for 40% of the expense and we have collected more (quarterly) than ever before. I was sad to let those people go but business is business when we don’t share space and form relationships.

I was in the process of evaluating replacing our IT department with overseas as well. However, in a coincidental event, after we fired the billing team - the entire IT team came back to the office except for one guy who wife is battling cancer. He is a great worker and I support his working from home.
So you're a globalist cuck, got it
