I personally have always had a plan a), plan b) and plan c) in terms of my job / career. So I always know what my next option to pursue will be if something changes that takes away my current opportunities.
this is an important fact the bears don't seem to understand.
i know lots of people who were made redundant in the gfc and it ended up being the best move that could have happened to them. the bears always assume these redundancies are a disaster, but for everyone who struggles there's always others who actually do very well out of the situation.
I am the love child of Tony Abbott and Pauline Hanson
No such thing as job security any more, gone are the days that one could stay in their work for many, many yrs. it's quite bittersweet really, coz it promotes self preservation & organization to adapt. But it's also a negative in the sense that you are just another number..
Not a great feeling to go to work wondering who's next on the chopping block... I would imagine.
Newjerk? can you try harder than dig up another person's blog. My first promo was with Billabong and my name in English is modified with a T, am Perth born but also lived in Sydney to make my $$ It's Absolutely Fabulous if it includes brilliant locations, & high calibre tenants..what more does one want? Understand the power of the two "P"" or be financially challenged Even better when there is family who are property mad and one is born in some entitlements.....Understand that beautiful women are the exhibitionists we crave attention, whilst hot blooded men are the voyeurs ... A stunning woman can command and takes pleasure in being noticed. Seems not too many understand what it means to hold and own props and get threatened by those who do. Banks are considered to be law abiding and & rather boring places yeah not true . A bank balance sheet will show capital is dwarfed by their liabilities this means when a portions of loans is falling its problems for the bank.

It's the young and old that are most effected by downturns/recessions employment wise.
People aged in between who've been at the one place for a while often get a redundancy payout that tides them over till they find something. As a slight aside my mum was going to hand in notice she was retiring on a Monday and the Friday before they made her redundant with over a years payout!
Recessions are an ongoing function of the economic cycle.
The fact that we are on a world beating run without one means that we are due.
When you said one was 'due' I thought you were inferring that you were confident one would arrive within in a predetermined (and short) timeframe.
If all you're saying is that we will have another recession 'sometime' then I agree. But it's a pretty pointless comment, like saying we will have rain sometime. It's a bit like Steve Keen's claim to have 'predicted the GFC'. All he actually did was say there would be a downturn sometime in the future, then he waited for the GFC to arrive and claimed to have predicted it. But when it came to the specifics, such as timing, or his predictions of a 40% crash, double digit unemployment, severe recession and ZIRP by 2010 for Australia, he got it all completely wrong. Anyone can predict there will be a recession 'sometime' in the future.

So basically what has occurred is marginalization?
The next trick of our glorious banks will be to charge us a fee for using net bank!!! You are no longer customer, you are property!!!
Fark, everyone wants to write of Abbott straight away. He's only been in for 3 months.
I couldn't give a shit if Bill Shorten mixes with world leaders at Nelson's memorial service or not.
The electorate is a feminine beast. The commentators are saying, in other words, we'd be better off if Labor had won the election. And the Labor party is ahead in the opinion polls, so it would seem Joe Average is thinking along the same lines. OK, fair enough. But why the f--k did we change the government then? People choose one course and then only a handful of months later they want to turn the car around and go back to the place they originally came from and hated.
I think Labor needed a kick up the ass and personally I don't think any party should usually be in for more than 2 terms. They get complacent and corrupt. Labor will learn from their mistakes and hopefully become a better party as a result.

I started being a contract consultant simply because there was so little private sector job security. I figure I might as well find my own work and get paid well if I can't have real job security anyway.

Why did we vote Labor out again? Short memories.
It's because it was the Rudd/Gillard circus that was voted out by the people - who remained pissed off that they weren't the ones getting to chose who was PM, with Abbott the default winner as a result. Now the Rudd/Gillard circus is gone from government, Abbott's general unpopularity with the electorate hurts him in the polls. To retain government at the next election, Tony needs to turn around the view the electorate has of him, which would include running a stellar government amongst other things. His only other hope is that the Labor party somehow implodes between now and the next election.
For Aussie property bears, "denial", is not just a long river in North Africa.....

This is largely management speak to make them feel Better about sacking you.
I was better off after redundancy, but only because my employers were wankers, and I was very lucky.
Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.
