I didn't see this coming

I honestly didn't expect to see McDonald's announce full withdrawal from Russia for good. I know it's a financial decision since there's no point in paying all the employees for who knows how long before the situation stabilizes, but to go as far as... — read more 

Russia closings are costing us at least $100 million

Who do you think is going to pay for that? It's certainly not going to be anybody at the top, that's for sure. Be careful in the next few months and prepare yourself for the possibility of being laid off the best you can. I'm talking primarily about... — read more
