I guess the media will report what it has to to keep us listening. There is no harm in preparing for further recession, as it's a positive thing to do in hard times or otherwise! See my post on 5 Recession Beating Tips @Kitty. I guess the media will report what it has to to keep us listening.

Really sorry to hear that John. I hope that the pay-off is what you want. This could be an important turning point for you in you career. With energy and drive you will discover new opportunities! If you're s**t hot, you will be beating them off with a stick! @John. Really sorry to hear that John. I hope that the pay-off is what you want.

I can't say who or else I might lose my pay-off, but it's a major player in Banking. I considered myself as s--t hot!

I haven't met one person yet who has been affected by it. Calm before the storm? It's hard to tell if it's just media hype or not, but maybe we're just lucky!
