branch manager

LinkedIn Influencer & Top Voice. Accomplished Director in International Sales, Marketing, Customer Service & Training. Known as the go-to person if you want something done. Called the ‘Tracie’ effect by CEO’s.

Being an Operations Manager and C-Level Executive is exactly what you’d think it’s like. 

I’m the person that everyone wants to know but nobody wants to be. If you want to get something done, you come to me – everyone knows that! 

Yet no one wants to have to do what I do because of the amount of personal time and effort that goes into being everyone’s go-to.  

Luckily, I’m passionate with staying organised and making everyone’s life easier. It brings such a genuine joy to my heart to take the burden off others shoulders, and I always do anything I can to enhance that. 

There aren’t many things that can grow a company the way that trust and dependability can, and I pride myself in being so dedicated to both.

Remember to approach every minor annoyance with a Can-Do Attitude!

Despite strong GDP projections, shoppers are feeling the squeeze from inflation, a shrinking job market, and tariffs. Key trends noted by CNBC:
Wealthier consumers are seeking bargains.
Gen Z is spending less overall.
Lower earners are cutting non-essential purchases.

A notable 24% of those earning $100,000+ plan to spend less this holiday season, posing a challenge for retailers like Best Buy, Target, and Home Depot. The consumer's mood is a critical variable overriding economic projections.

Question: Will consumer caution overshadow economic strength this quarter? What are you seeing in your industry?

Be careful not to be bowled over by distractions.

The rapid integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into recruitment is creating a significant crisis of authenticity and trust for everyone involved, as Fortune reported. This dual challenge is causing widespread headaches:

🤕 Headaches for Job Seekers
Harsher Screening: Candidates are navigating increasingly severe AI screening processes that can be rigid and opaque, often filtering out qualified people.

Fake Postings: The rise of AI-assisted job applications is fueling an increase in high-volume, potentially fake job postings, leading job seekers to waste time and effort.

🤯 Headaches for Employers
Application Overload: Recruiters are struggling to manage massive volumes of AI-assisted applications, leading to overwhelm and burnout.
Crisis of Authenticity: The lack of human connection is diminishing the hiring process.

A staggering 42% of people directly blame AI for their disillusionment with the hiring process, highlighting a drastic plummet in trust. To move forward, we must focus on ethical AI use, transparency, and re-injecting human authenticity into a process that has become overly automated.

It's just around the corner, the Thanksgiving feast.

🦃 Thanksgiving Economics: Feast & Flight Costs in the USA ✈️

The cost of Thanksgiving is always a major discussion point in the U.S., impacting both consumer spending and business logistics. Here's a quick look at the 2025 trends:

Food Costs: Good news for the grocery bill! The average cost of a classic Thanksgiving dinner for 10 is down this year, estimated around $55.18 according to the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF), a 5% drop from 2024. Lower turkey prices primarily drive this. However, keep an eye on side dish ingredients and regional taxes, as some staple items are still seeing price increases.

Travel Costs: Holiday travel demand remains strong, but price trends are mixed:
Domestic Airfare is relatively stable, with some sources reporting a slight 1-4% increase year-over-year. The cheapest day to fly is often Thanksgiving Day itself.

Hotels and Rental Cars are showing more favorable trends, with rental cars dropping around 6% and hotel rates holding steady or only modestly increasing in many markets.

Pro Tip: Booking flexibility and avoiding the peak Wednesday departure/Sunday return dates are key to savings.

This holiday season continues to highlight the balancing act for consumers: finding value at the grocery store while navigating the persistent costs of family travel.

Having perseverance is the real trick here.

🚀 Perseverance isn't just about finishing; it's about the relentless effort and learning through every setback. In business, the road is rarely straight.

 Keep showing up, keep adapting, and keep pushing forward. That unwavering commitment is your competitive edge.

Hoping that your Hump day is humming along.

Internet Outage Alert: Cloudflare experienced a significant service disruption yesterday, causing popular sites like X, ChatGPT, and League of Legends to go offline temporarily.

The cause: an internal software crash triggered by a file, which has since been resolved. No malicious activity detected.

These events (like the recent AWS issues) are critical case studies in infrastructure reliance. The internet's buffer needs backups!

You have been Drilling down all work week , it's nice to know that your well deserved weekend is afoot.

The long-awaited September jobs report is finally here, delivering a complex picture for the U.S. economy:

Job Growth Surges: A stronger-than-expected 119,000 jobs were added, well above analyst forecasts.

Unemployment Ticks Up: The jobless rate rose slightly to 4.4%—the highest level since October 2021—due to more people entering the labor force (higher labor force participation rate).

Sector Spotlights: Health care, social assistance, and food services were the primary drivers of job creation.

This shutdown-delayed data will be under intense scrutiny by Federal Reserve officials as they debate a potential December interest rate cut. The simultaneous rise in payrolls and the unemployment rate makes their decision even trickier.

What are your thoughts on these mixed signals and the potential impact on the Fed's next move?

#JobsReport #Economy #FederalReserve #LaborMarket #EconomicUpdate

Let's get a jump on this new work week of November 17th before we hit the pavement.

Keep a close eye on these reports and company updates:

📊 Key Economic Indicators
Important releases this week will offer fresh insight into manufacturing, housing, and the labor market, especially as delayed reports from the recent government shutdown are being released:

Manufacturing & Industrial Data:
Monday (Nov 17): Empire State Manufacturing Survey
Tuesday (Nov 18): Industrial Production & Capacity Utilization
Thursday (Nov 20): Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Survey
Housing & Construction:

Labor & Sentiment:
Thursday (Nov 20): Initial Jobless Claims, Nonfarm Payrolls Report (Sept. data release)

Friday (Nov 21): University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment (Final)
🏦 Central Bank Focus: FOMC Minutes
Wednesday (Nov 19): The release of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting minutes will be crucial. Markets will scrutinize the details to gauge the Federal Reserve's future path on interest rates and its stance on the economy's health following the recent rate cuts.

💰 Major Earnings Reports
A few retail giants are scheduled to report, providing a look into consumer health ahead of the holiday shopping season:

Now everyone has posted about ThrowBack Thursday but I believe this guy has a real drop on it.

Unfortunately noone is going to get a drop on this. 
Due to the government shutdown, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) will not release a full U.S. jobs report for October.

This means:

Unemployment Rate: The household data needed to calculate the October unemployment rate could not be collected at all and is lost.

Payroll Data: The payroll numbers will be folded into the November report, now scheduled for release on Dec. 16 (delayed from Dec. 5).

Fed Implications: Crucially, this vital labor market data won't be available before the Federal Reserve's final policy meeting of the year, complicating their economic assessment.

The shutdown has created a significant data gap for policymakers and investors.
