☆ I was just laid off from Meta. We knew more cuts were coming from the news before Mark Zuckerberg even told us, and the way the layoffs were ultimately handled was very cold.

Mary Prescott was just laid off from Meta after the company announced it's cutting 10,000 more jobs. I fully assumed I'd be laid off because I'd only been at Meta since the summer. I felt horrible for everyone who was laid off after investing a lot of their time and expertise into Meta. I felt very much on edge because it seemed likely there'd be more layoffs, but we just didn't know when. Unfortunately, he wasn't given any information about these layoffs either, and he actually got laid off today as well.

"But if it gets noticed, the flight attendant will have to speak with their manager." This made me realize that there's so much we don't notice, or even know, when it comes to the job of a flight attendant. Flight attendants sometimes live together in crash padsFor some flight attendants, always being on the go doesn't warrant wanting to pay rent at an apartment that you'll hardly use. Williams said there's such a thing as flight attendant crash pads, where you split rent with a group of other flight attendants near the airport. You can't become a flight attendant overnightUnlike some jobs where you can submit your resume, go through minimal training, and start immediately, being a flight attendant requires a decent amount of training.

It's about six months between when it's certified and we can put it into service," Jordan told reporters at an Aero Club event in Washington. Jordan said his "best guess" is it will be in service by Southwest in early 2024. Boeing said it continues to work with the FAA to meet the requirements for MAX 7 and MAX 10 certification. Boeing has unfilled orders of 388 737 MAXs for Southwest and 271 of those are for MAX 7s. Jordan added that, if MAX 7 entry into service is delayed, Boeing will deliver additional MAX 8s to Southwest this year in lieu of MAX 7s.

☆ Bank of America stock chief Savita Subramanian told us why she thinks investors are using the exact wrong playbook for the oncoming recession, and what they should do instead
▼ + stars: | 2023-03-08 | by ( Marley Jay | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +4 min

Savita Subramanian says investors need to update their approaches as the economy slows down. Bank of America's US stock chief told Insider she's very wary of tech stocks and long-term bonds. In a recent interview with Insider, however, Subramanian pushed back on the idea that she's a bear. She's telling investors to overweight materials, energy, consumer staples, and financials in their stock portfolios. Stocks have outperformed bonds dramatically since that last high, and investors might start dumping bonds if they're disappointed by their returns again.

☆ The chief investment strategist at a $540 billion firm explains why the stock market may have already bottomed for the year — and why he sees opportunity in the market's most beaten-down names

Wes Crill believes the stock market may have already bottomed, according to historical precedence. In the long term, he's bullish on value stocks once again taking the reigns as market leaders. "In fact, the average return for value stocks was a little bit higher in periods where the overall stock market was positive." Across Wall Street, Crill's not the only one with a longer-term overweight towards value stocks. Instead, he says investors should stick to what history dictates works best: value stocks over a long time horizon.

☆ Awful Stock Market Analysts, Wall Street Economists Are Costing Investors Money
▼ + stars: | 2023-02-08 | by ( Neil Dutta | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +10 min

One type of data point to be wary of involves vehicles for confirmation, which use old data to confirm what an analyst already believes. The index is also revamped after every recession — given new weights and components so the new index perfectly signals the recession that just happened. Let's assume the ISM signals a turning point in the business cycle when it runs below 50 for three consecutive months. In a bull market, when rising stocks lift all boats, these analysts are still making money while arguing the downside just "hasn't happened yet." No single data point is a substitute for good judgment, which is the best leading indicator of all.

☆ Biden's stock buyback tax isn't working. In State of the Union, he's asking Congress for more
▼ + stars: | 2023-02-07 | by ( Eric Rosenbaum | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +14 min

In September 2021, Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) and Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Oregon) proposed that stock buybacks should be taxed at 2%. Lazonick, who thought any minor buyback tax would be ineffective, says he has been proven correct. If a higher buyback tax is enacted, he is betting it will not have the outcomes that Democrats envision. While it's hard to see a higher tax getting passed in the current Congress, it does make sense for Biden to state his desire for 4%. Changing a buyback tax, though, might first prove harder.

Dominic Kosteris worked two jobs and lived with his parents before buying his first home in 1996. "I was delivering newspapers when I was in eighth grade," the 54-year-old high school history teacher told Insider. Kosteris' parents emigrated from England to the States when he was two years old. Today, Kosteris technically doesn't have to work, thanks to the real-estate portfolio he's built over the past 27 years. He owns 64 single-family homes, which Insider verified, including the one he lives in.

☆ George Santos' drag is actually pretty good, but could use more eyeliner and a personality change, says a star of 'RuPaul's Drag Race'

Photos and videos have emerged of George Santos apparently dressed in drag as "Kitara Ravache." Jan Sport, a star of "RuPaul's Drag Race," rated Kitara Rivache's drag look for Insider. One Brazilian drag queen, Eula Rochard, claimed she knew Santos by drag name Kitara Ravache, and alleged that he competed in drag queen beauty pageants in 2008. "I've seen a lot worse first-time drag than Miss Kitara," Jan said. Santos, who initially denied claims he ever performed as a drag queen, later appeared to admit that he had dressed in drag, telling reporters: "I was not a drag queen.
