The Great Pay Reset

Culture Leaders: The Masters Behind Movements

In today's episode:

• There's unprecedented wage deflation across America; job-seekers are taking jobs for tens of thousands less than just a few months ago.
• Hiring managers are taking advantage of a tight job market to post jobs for lower wages.
• After COVID, companies overspent on labor; now, employees are getting fired as a cost-cutting measure.
• The market now likes seeing layoffs; they're considered a sign of profit-taking instead of weakness.

This episode discusses a new piece in The Wall Street Journal: Bosses Want to Reset Worker Pay. They’re Quietly Finding Ways to Do It. - WSJ
