It’s an interesting time to be in the workforce right now.
With a recession on the horizon, there has been a barrage of coverage detailing mass layoffs, hiring freezes, and salary challenges across the country. Not to mention, companies are beginning to roll back their WFH policies, and urging reluctant workers to return to the office.
For example, President Biden’s said in his March State of the Union address that “People working from home can feel safe and begin to return to their offices.” And as Forbes’ Janice Gassam Asare pointed out, this past summer author Malcolm Gladwell said “If you’re just sitting in your pajamas in your bedroom, is that the work life you want to live?”
So, it’s safe to say it hasn’t been rainbows and unicorns for those of us in the working world. Fortunately, we have Black Twitter to save us.
