Layoff Season, A Bonus Squeeze, & The Beyond Meat Bite 9/20/22

Investors are bracing for the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee meeting this week, ready for another policy announcement to curb inflation. Workers are returning to the office, but surveys show that in-person attendance is down, compared to pre-pandemic levels. New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy discusses the impact of New York’s return-to-office push on the Garden State commuters and taxpayers. New York Times reporter Kate Kelly details the in-person trends on Wall Street, the waves of layoffs still to come, and what’s likely to be a meager bonus season. Plus, Beyond Meat’s COO has been arrested for allegedly biting a fellow sports fan’s nose, and Amazon has scored an NFL touchdown–virtually.
