开场白：

各位听友，早上好。欢迎你再次收听我的节目。

Today is Thursday, November 17th.

转眼11月也已经过半。Time really flies!

So, in Monday’s program, I talked about the big layoff at Facebook. Surprise, surprise! Yesterday, Amazon also announced its first ever big layoff. They will cut 10k corporate jobs as the economy is slowing down and consumers are spending less.

I also think layoff is not just a corporate America thing. Many are experiencing the same thing in China as well. So, I am thinking about making an episode to share some stories about how to cope with layoff. If you are interested or you would like to share your thoughts, please contact me. You can find me, EconFinDaily, on all major social media platforms. Or, you can leave your comments at wherever you listen to this Podcast.
