Phone blowing up these last couple days after I been telling people for months industries are grinding to a halt. Real estate is already done, I was liquidating assets late last year to this summer and telling any and everybody to GET OUT.. Now they like they need to sell ASAP, bruhhhhh..

Its gonna be a blood bath, I cant believe how short people memories are, if you were a kid in 2009 or so, I get it I guess but the history is very recent and information is freely available.. People I know from Appraisers, inspectors, Mortgage brokers, title agents, realtors, all saying business grinding to a fukking halt.. Them prices gonna come down and the next shoe to drop gonna be jobs, the feds feel like people have too much money and they want to get inflation under control.. They gonna put everyone on they ass one way or another.. Get liquid and skill up for next wave.. Oh and best believe you gonna get a TON of "hey big head" text talking about they a soft girl now

People not ready for the next 12-24 months of pain..
The thing is, when the shyt hits the fan and people have to start selling because they can no longer afford their homes, them appraisers and inspectors will be right back in business. Not sure about realtors and mortgage brokers. People are getting hip and going at the market without realtors.

The amount of transactions that will change hands will drop like crazyyy.. Only the strong and competent will survive and still be able to do business, most will do something else and maybe hold business to side.. You know how many percentage of marketplace have a mortgage under 5%? Many reports saying over 60%.. they not gonna be changing into higher interest rate.. Lots of people gonna stay pat for awhile..

That’s not what I mean. When people fall behind and are forced to liquidate, banks do inspections/appraisals on those homes depending if it goes into foreclosure, short sale or goes into the real estate owned space. The bank needs to know the value and condition of property. I’m not saying it will be like the last couple years but if they hold tight, business will comeback around. I’ve seen people who bought in the last two years already have to sell at a loss for various reasons. It’s starting now.

My job did a mass layoff earlier this year. I just pray I’m safe for any future reviews.

To be fair those companies like Twitter and Facebook don't produce anything of value.

Intel/Microsoft/Apple have excess executive employees, they gotta go...

Amazon is just ebay from back of the day, too much expansion in various markets causing them to lose money....

Just doom and gloom...frontline support will be alright...the creative specialist/fugazi positions gotta go...
You think 75% of Twitter employees were creative? The vast majority of any jobs aren't the creatives it's the regular nikkas. Plus without creatives, most of these companies would not be around

Can Twitter function with 75% fewer employees? :why:


Nope. They're already asking some of the employees they fired to come back. Elon doesn't know what the hell he's doing. Most of those fired are probably going to Bluesky Social.The only way I'd come back to Twitter if I was one of those ex-employees is if they gave me at least 3 times my old salary.

Switch to finance or healthcare. I ain’t worked in a year and a half and still get a dozen recruitment emails a day. If you in Dallas you’ll be fine.

I'm in healthcare, and my job is currently on a hiring freeze as well for all corporate jobs. all the hospital jobs are still hiring.

I’ve been listening to a lot of Michael Burry (big short guy) videos on YouTube he’s predicting that a lot of the large tech companies have inflated stock prices and the bubble is going to pop soon. Since people who invest usually “play it safe“ by buying the larger tech companies or index funds that do, people don’t research small stocks anymore, and Wallstreet brokers use large tech companies to hedge with, all their prices are inflated.
