I’m a generally optimistic kind of guy but as I start to see posts from friends about work drying up or disappearing I can’t shake the feeling of gathering gloom. Worst of all, there seems to be nothing that can be done about it, which leaves me feeling rather small.

Update: One thing I forgot to say was how frustrating this is. Despite our company doing relatively well and being in a relatively safe sector we’ve still battened down the hatches and stopped all recruiting. So, even though I’m in the same industry as many of my friends, I’m in no position to help them out.
