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.
