Friend of mine who works in tech. Company he works for used to pay their sales employees monthly. Then it became quarterly. Now they get their commission once a year and only if the company hits their targets. Brutal.

Place I work at is a large CNC in Western Mass, we have seen contracts slowing and dropping off. Today we had layoffs 25 people are now looking for work.

Some were dead weight, some were unexpected. I have been here just shy of 2 years.

Anyone else out there in Manufacturing noticing a drastic slow down in orders and demand?

Not in manufacturing but major slowdown here as well. You pretty much nailed the timing too. I was hoping the next several weeks after this thread started it would pick back up.

Adding 1 trillion dollars in debt every 100 days and printing money to pay for it. What could possibly go wrong?
