TikTok is restoring service to US users after Trump pos=

<strong>Balance of Power Shifts Bac=
k Toward Bosses (10 minute read)</strong>
</span>
<span style=3D"font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, V= erdana, sans-serif;">
While the job market looks as strong as=
ever, big companies are tightening remote-work policies, shrinking travel = budgets, and cutting back on benefits. The balance of power between employe=
rs and employees has shifted as the labor market has gone from white-hot to=
merely solid. The power shift is evident across most of the labor market, = but it is most prominent in white-collar roles. While the shift in leverage=
was displayed in layoffs and wage cuts in the past, it is now more subtle,=
often seen through changes to working conditions.
