The Net / Net today is about job hugging.
Blitz recap:
Last summer was quiet quitting
Then we moved to quiet crushing

This is like having a teenager. Defiance turns to angst turns to remorse / insecurity.
Job hugging is real, it’s happening and as consumer uncertainty mounts and the year end layoffs arise, it will only be more prevalent.
It feels like we are in a time of clinging to what we hold or know to be true.
This reminds me of this Wilson Phillips Song. Does anyone remember this music video? I always wanted to have hair like the short blonde.
Survive and thrive when the job market feels impossible.
