Credit Crunch

[Darth Vodka]

Yep, already read it and I now agree with you.

However, when you look at the symptoms of a recession, you could say we're already experiencing them.

agreed, but your original point was why don't they call it a recession and my answer was: it isn't technically a recession (yet)

agreed, but your original point was why don't they call it a recession and my answer was: it isn't technically a recession (yet)

But it is according to the U.S. based National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER). :icon_sad: :icon_wink

I know, and I agreed with you. We then moved on to further discussions.

Can't we have discussions in Europe, it'd be less expensive and better for the environment - supposedly

It has had NO effect on me at all. My savings are in HSBC, whom I trust; my view is, well yeah HSBC offer lower interest but its a strong stable bank for a say £15 extra interest whats the point moving?

My job is safe; unless i get arrested or sacked... which hopefully won't happen.

All in all, everything is fine and to answer the question, nope not affected in the slightest.

 

[Hazzman]

I am lucky bastard atm when it comes to job and money etc.

Fingers crossed, it stays that why until my qualifications are over.

that's because you don't live in the real world at present.

 

[Melton Fox]

My job is safe

When all it takes is one single person to decide they don't like you, don't need you or just want you out, your job is never safe.

Don't fool yourself. We are all being affected by the current situation even if we're not savvy enough to realise it.

or made redundant

why are you redundant proof?

when i worked at WorldCom and they filed for chapter 11, i saw thousands made redundant, the only people left were people who:-

1) did a job key to the business and weren't paid over market rates
2) people who were paid peanuts
3) both of the above

even if you do a key job within your team, ask yourself this: what would happen if your whole team went?

I could've been sure I read on here that you were training to be an accountant.
I must be mistaken.

You could argue that if we don't realise it is having an effect on us, it isn't, in fact, having an effect on us?

Or it could just mean that you're simply too thick to understand the impact of it.....
