Großbritannien Stellenangebote auf der ganzen Welt stürzen

> It said there was evidence that some firms may not be recruiting new workers or replacing people who have left.

I guess in isolation this would be fine if the economy was growing and people were starting new companies. Even if average number of employees decreased per company, an increase in startups (across all industries, like green energy, education, etc) would balance it out. But we have complete stagnation and lack of entrepreneurism.

“Private sector pay growth also edged down and remains below the public sector rate, which increased” – ONS statement today

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what is going on here. I blame myself for voting Labour, but they’ve gone straight for the stereotypical tax the private sector and pay the public sector. Next step will to be to go after private sector pensions, whilst leaving public sector pensions unscathed.

Wage growth = inflation = higher interest rates. So enjoy those high mortgages for a little longer.

I assume interest rates have to go down now, and then we get more inflation.

As someone who has recently returned from overseas and is desperately looking for a job; whatever the official statistics say, this is the quietest I’ve ever known the job market to be (excluding the lockdowns).

I’m genuinely worried I won’t be able to find something this time.

Sluggish growth, persistent sticky inflation, rising unemployment, low business confidence, weak consumer spending, slowing wage growth and rising job cuts. Stagflation on the horizon?

Who would have thought making it more expensive to employ people would reduce the amount of people employed 

It’s also becoming increasingly clear that a growing share of job postings aren’t for real jobs at all. For some companies, it’s highly profitable to collect free data from applicants, CVs, work histories, and personal details, which can then be sorted, ranked, and even sold to recruiters or used later if a genuine vacancy arises.

Posting fake jobs also gives firms a ready-made database to verify future CVs for authenticity, while projecting an image of growth to outsiders. From a purely commercial perspective, there’s little downside for a private company unfortunately, the only people who lose out are the jobseekers whose time and data are being exploited.

Meanwhile the job centre and restart still requires people to apply for 30+ jobs a week.
I have been trying to tell them both for months that job vacancies are falling fast and to ask them if theres any courses or whatever that I can do to retrain so I can get out of this cycle and they look at me like im insane and insist everything is ok lol

We’re in an economic downturn and have been for quite some time…. Things are only going to get worse for this year and next year. I haven’t seent he job market this bad since 2008 and that makes for some pretty grim reading if you ask me ! Wages are absolutely shocking, yet house prices are at all time highs, we have less services than we did back in 2008 and inflation is hammering food prices.

We are already in a recession imo and it will be official by Q4 of this year. If you have any debt that you can clear now would be a good time to do so.

Tell me about it.

I’m going to lose my job within the next 2 years due to the company going under. I have chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia so my job choices are very limited. I’ve never seen the job market so bad. I’m terrified.

It’s a cultural problem. People don’t deviate from the norm. Try a business model that works on the weekends and takes Wednesday and Thursday off instead. Or have your lunch break at irregular times of day. Encourage people to wear bright colours, trendy outfits, and confidently express themselves.

And the goal shouldn’t be to be a massive business chain. Stop trying to be American in all the worst ways.

Every place i go i see Indian students working part time legally. An then overtime hours at £4 an hour which they will HAPPILY accept since it’s being sent back to India ANYWAYS.

Why would an employer pay me minimum wage when they can pay Rajinder £4 and treat him like shite.

I wonder what the scenario would be in an alternate universe where the government had left employer’s NICs alone but instead reversed the 4 percentage point cut in employees NICs. Maybe they’d have had enough fiscal headroom to avoid annoying pensioners, even though they’d have suffered a short term roasting by the media for reversing their promise not to raise income tax, NI or VAT…

Yep. I’m busy as hell. The number of management/mid management far exceeds the number of working staff actually doing the job. 70% of the jobs that were here have moved to Poland over the last 5 years and we haven’t recruited anyone for 3 years. Even though there’s more work coming than we can deal with we are still not expanding the team. Overheads are rising but it’s not passed to the employees.

For my actual job, I haven’t been able to do it correctly for years. The offshored work is not good. Language barrier maybe but the quality is not what it was. It all amounts to critical safety concerns. But the higher ups don’t care as long as it’s on time and to budget. Crazy world.

I work in the city in IT infrastructure, if anyone leaves we:

1) look backfill with AI

And/or

2) look to outsource overseas.

We’ll probably never hire anyone in the UK again which is a real shame.

I’m hanging on for dear life in my current role because I’m convinced it’s not going to ever get better than this in terms of work in the UK.

I’ve also started networking like mad because when they finally replace me I’m fairly sure the only way I’ll be able to get a another job is via nepotism, I guess that’s really the only benefit of being in London, more networking opportunities.

Plenty of job losses aswel
Nothing on news either
Country is doomed
