In case you havenât heard, weâre in a recession. Actually weâre not, but weâve spent the last year talking about how we will be, which has the effect of altering behavior as if we were. Even if youâve come to terms with the fundamental irrationality of the stock market, itâs still difficult to fight the feeling that CEOs are willing this recession into existence to create a justifying narrative for layoffs. Not because they necessarily want to save money, or even redirect the company, but to press reset on what they view as out-of-control compensation packages and worker demands.
