The glass is definitely half empty this week in Pakistan’s business and economics twitterverse
T
here was a lot going on this week, which is why there is such an extensive number of tweets we have covered in this week’s social media roundup. The MCSI degradation is on top of the list, and we also implore all of our corporate readers to take a break and not kill themselves over their job. Ariba Shahid brings you all this and more.
The glass is definitely half empty
Pay me more please
Either my salary is shrinking or everything else is getting WAY too expensive. Disposable income should now be called negligible incomes. However, in all seriousness there is a surplus of labor with businesses working on slim margins. Even though the minimum wages have increased, we NEED MORE MONEY.
The secret ID card collection
Everything can be constructed as good news if you’re optimistic enough. With the MSCI mulling over downgrading Pakistan’s status to a frontier market, we can’t help but be annoyed at the countless tweets on twitter being optimistic. We don’t understand why people do not get that a downgrade is a downgrade. It simply means you’re not good enough to be there. Regardless of the number of opportunities it opens for you, no one really picks being a big fish at Iqra university, or any university over being a small fish at Harvard by choice. That decision is usually based on money, but that is a different conversation.
SOCIAL MEDIA ROUNDUP
We’re going to stop asking questions about why they need so many photocopies of CNICs. Instead, we’re going to focus on where they keep these copies. Do they dig up a hole every few years and bury them? Do they recycle the paper? Do they collect them so they can make fun of our pictures? What is up bro?
