Back in January I wrote a blogpost about this exact issue and people treated it as ramblings.
I discussed it with over 30 people in the meantime each saying theres no way ghost jobs are a thing, theres no way it’s that bad, or that they have a job so surely this is exaggerated.
It’s not, it really is that bad, and more than a dozen of them since lost their job and messaged me saying that the blogpost is much more real than they could’ve ever imagined.

- lazide 2y agoThe US right now is caught between two entirely delusional mental models, with massive amounts of manipulation being used by both. The everything is terrible and we’re being attacked/losing model, and the everything is great and we’re winning model. The incumbent group benefits from the ‘everything is great’ model because incumbents generally always lose when the economy is in the crapper. And because this has turned into an existential fight between these two delusional world views, anyone trying to notice the actual reality gets attacked/gaslit/etc. Notably, also the opposite world view - if allowed to win - will definitely eat everything it touches and destroy damn near everything. It’s imperative we get our heads out of our asses and actually deal with the real world here before we get drug off the cliff.
