Amy Gips loves her one-bedroom apartment in a swank Manhattan building that features a gym, golf simulator, yoga studio, and massage rooms. But she no longer feels she can justify paying $4,400 a month in rent, especially now that her ex-boyfriend has moved out. A week ago, just as the 27-year-old associate at a private equity fund was planning her next move, a letter arrived from the property management company. The rent for the 750-square-foot Chelsea apartment with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Madison … (5 comments)
As the CFO of this business that employs 140 people, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barack Obama is our new President and that our taxes and Gov't fees will increase in a BIG way. To compensate for these increases, I figure that our clients will have to see an increase in our fees to them of approx. 8%, but since we cannot increase our fees currently due to the dismal state of the economy, we have no choice but to lay off eight of our employees instead.

I have seen a handful of Commercial Real Estate Agents go elsewhere to other industries to seek salaried positions. On the other hand, I have also witnessed numerous financial carnage, as layoffs, shutdowns, bankruptcies and fraud have shaken those employers to the ground...
