You get a tariff, and you get a tariff!

Well then,

The office is practically at a standstill. Futures are fucked. My MD is screaming sell on the phone to his family office.

Alas, for us, if tariffs prolong I rekon we’ll see lots of take private action AND if they last for over a year the restructuring guys will be having a ball.

What are the initial thoughts on the tariffs?

Thank you Trump for Liberation Day, I will soon be liberated from my job I can feel it

That is sort of a joke but it is real in that companies might implement hiring freezes and then consider downsizing. The uncertainty is an issue for companies.

 

First term he negotiated with them. Frankly, I’d like to see tariffs used to balance the scales. Will see what happens but I’m not exactly bullish on Hoover tactics.

Only two sources I trust, Glenn Beck and singing woodland creatures.

The more downvotes, the harder my boner gets

PLease betas, keep me goig hard fam 

 

My thinking is that I should hold off on trying to leave my employer who has never done a true layoff. Feels like even if tariffs get walked back, the threat is worse than the execution and that is going to freeze up hiring.

My business was strong until about a week ago.  The texts, emails and calls have slowed down considerably.   I would be very surprised if employers in finance are going to continue to hire in the current environment.  I do not work in IB, but what company is going to want to an IPO at the moment?
