On today's town hall meeting, our Finance guy always has his talking points. I can literally reenact and fill in the blank. Examples: The economic indicator is indicating that the economy is in a recession. We are facing [headwind/tailwind]. Our revenues, inflows are slightly [below/above] target, outflows have [increased/decreased], risk based capital is capital that is risk based [you won't understand it]. Back to the economic indicator, we're losing a sh*t-load of money. By the way, we're not filling any all open roles/job positions for 2023, and will revisit in 2024 once the indicator tells us otherwise.
Happy Halloween.
