Fears over the state of the labor market hurt consumer confidence in February, according to the Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index.

I think this is a combination of inflation and employers wanting people to return to the office. I am excited for people to return to the office as it means I can earn a lot more money.

    The only people who want to argue with that are those who own commercial real estate

    Well, that isn’t true at all. I know many people who want to return who don’t own commercial real estate.

    I work in sales and people in offices means more sales for me. Over the past six months, I have seen a large push for people to return and fewer jobs available for those who don’t want to return.

      Strange, you claimed to be a doctor in another thread. Whatever, I didn’t say nobody wants to go back to the office, I said it’s unnecessary and a waste of money if your work doesn’t require physical presence.

      Edit: actually, not whatever. I figured you for a liar and a shill months back since you spout nothing but GQP sound bites and don’t actually engage with what people say; you just went and proved it to my satisfaction. Enjoy your shiny new block 🤡

              Don’t forget to add self employed, and owns 3 houses (which are definitely for sure required for said self employed job, not a larp or house hoarding)

              Oh I wish I was a fighter. Too bad my vision isn’t good enough. I had to settle doing other things.

          I know imagine Michael Crichton. Author and medical doctor. Har har. Or Jonny Kim. Navy seal/astronaut and medical doctor.

          Many people have just accomplished more than you have.

        I think I’ve seen wintermute claim to be in cyber software sales before. I missed where he was also a doctor.

          Obviously, having blocked him, it’s hard to go check myself (also I’m at work - gotta earn that cheddar, we can’t all be doctor cyber software salesmen) but it was probably in this thread somewhere: https://lemmy.world/comment/6829461

          I think that was the one where I first tried to engage with them, anyway.

        Who is the GQP?

        You don’t think inflation is causing companies to layoff and people to be concerned about losing their jobs?
