The world is changing, were not in a recession but your going backwards, the pandemic and the government response to it not the actual pandemic, has in my opinion unleashed the greatest loss of productivity ever, people are now dumber and lazier and governments and unions still want us to pay them more, the global skill shortage is due to this in western countries, basically it can be summed up you need 20-30% more people to do what was done previously and as that has created a skill shortage then they want 20-30% more for doing less, its a double whammy on productivity, if your in business dont hate the game just keep playing it out, charging it out, its economy wide, eventually recession will hit, signs are already there, its already an affordability crisis and governments are rushing to try and subsidise stuff which is just making things worse as usual.
This is just my opinion and whilst I believe it to be consistent across all industries, I work mainly in property development and construction, so my analysis is usually focused there where costs are out of control. But work from home doesn't work, etc.
Government workers please dont reply, only those who contribute, your lack of productivity and contribution whilst an even greater non contribution post pandemic has always been fairly consistently bad and a drag on capitalism, and nothing will change there your opinions therefore aren't required in a conversation about productivity, the word doesn't exist in the public service marxist handbook.
