And I&amp;#x27;ve seen these people have a lot of stress and guilt about wanting to rescind their acceptance.&lt;p&gt;Just remember, it&amp;#x27;s just business. I guarantee Meta (and all other companies) are just treating it as business, and you should do the same. I&amp;#x27;m not at all saying be rude, and it&amp;#x27;s important not to burn bridges, but remember that when push comes to shove a company will &lt;i&gt;never&lt;/i&gt; show you loyalty beyond what makes economic sense and what is legally necessary, and you should do the same.</text></comment>

Up to even a week ago.&lt;p&gt;This is the danger of fixating on the economic rearview mirror. And few things are more rearview than hiring and layoffs.&lt;p&gt;Leading financial indicators such as yield curves and oil futures are painting a very clear picture and it&amp;#x27;s not good.</text></comment>
