All these stories are happening during an otherwise robust economy. While we're seeing some fraying on the edges, the economy seams strong heading into the holiday shopping season.
What happens when things become tight? This company isn't growing and expanding when times are good. Can it even last another down cycle?
If you're younger than 50, put together a good resume and find another job! If the economy softens, jobs will be harder to find. If you don't do it now, you're in for a world of hurt sometime soon.
I took this post from a thread about labor budget cuts. Good point OP ( @VIc891v-3nro )
