Fed up with the great resignation? How hard it is out there to
find people?
Is it a lack of talent? Big tech hoarding? Overinflated salaries?
Big tech are secretly laying off up to 30% of staff, managing
reduced valuations and increasing costs.
This trickles down to startups as a resetting of valuations
and raises. Fintech's will need to do more with less. But as the great
resignation turns into the great redundancy, maybe the gravy train is over.
Can Fintech pickup talent searching for a new home? Perhaps,
but there might be a slight re-adjustment on salary expectations.https://www.smartcompany.com.au/opinion/adam-schwab-tech-layoffs-jobs/
Governments and Boards will be rolled if they are not acting on Climate - that's the conclusion from the recent election and the collapse this week of the AGL Board (Australia's biggest polluter).It was not only Mike Cannon-Brookes but several major funds that forced AGL to backtrack on the de-merger - that was aiming to quarantine the company from necessary emission reductions. Many other funds and activist shareholders are placing pressure on industrial polluters to also address Paris CoP21 targets (set in 2015).

As Jim Chalmers sets about his job as Treasurer, he is
rightly pointing to the challenges of meeting community expectations in the
face of the current levels of public debt.
For decades our politicians have known that demographic trends
and growing community expectations for services and support have seen cost
projections outpacing those for government revenues but have obfuscated the problem for political expediency.We need to come together as a community and face economic
reality and agree on reasonable expectations for the services we require from the
government and how we will pay for these.
