@jconnorholliman Not saying it’s right because the feedback is important for growth, but it’s becoming more popular because of liability. The amount of candidates now who are prepared to blast Glassdoor when they disagree with feedback or who look for any tiny reason to sue has created a problem.

BOJ hiked to 1%, the highest since 1995.
Sounds like not your problem. But the thing is, Japan is the 4th largest economy globally and its citizens have this nifty trick called the yen carry trade. In a nutshell they borrow cheap and reinvest in global assets like bonds, equities and crypto. The 1% might not sound like a lot, especially if your bag is up 10% on the year. True, but sometimes optics is what makes the jittery investor panic, most especially if you are on leverage and your position isn't really doing well.
That's when the unwind starts, yen rallies, margin calls hit, and everyone sells whatever's liquid first.
Hopefully, the war in Iran winding down takes some pressure off energy prices and stops the BOJ from hiking further, keeping things calm for risk assets.
