The Net / Net today is about job hugging. Blitz recap: Last summer was quiet quitting Then we moved to quiet crushing Now we are outright hugging This is like having a teenager.

It feels like we are in a time of clinging to what we hold or know to be true. This reminds me of this Wilson Phillips Song. Does anyone remember this music video?
