More Retrenchments!!!

The "BIG 5" accounting firms are retrenching people left, right and centre. 250 people this week from 1 of the big 5, heaps more from the rest. Many of them waiting for the "dreaded phone call". Not to mention other companies that have retrenched already and are planning to retrench in the future. What's going on? Funny thing is, all I here about is how people are losing their jobs, yet, property is still going up or at least still very, very strong? Weird? Who are these people that have so much confidence in our economy and their jobs? From what I can gather, there is still a lot of confidence and I can't see property prices falling in Melbourne areas! Strange but true.

I agree "anon". Same sort of thing in my area. Things are just looking in one direction.....and that's up! I don't understand this madness! Is the same sort of thing happening in other areas? I'm from Melbourne's East.

Funny thing. People were looking at Dot-Com stocks the same way a few years ago.
