(The Hill) – Brian Moynihan, the head of Bank of America, said on Sunday that his company plans to slow down its hiring process and predicted that the U.S., would experience a mild recession later this year.During an appearance on CBS’s “Face The Nation,” Moynihan told moderator Margaret Brennan that one way to slow the hiring process is to rely on attrition, which means not backfilling positions of people who leave or retire voluntarily. He said that so far, BOA hired 700 people in May, compared to the 3,000 people that were hired at the same time last year.“We're not making layoffs. We're trying to do it by attrition, but even the attrition slowed to half what it was last year. And when I talk to other companies, I get the same input.” Moynihan told Brennan. He predicted what he called a "mild recession" later this year and early into 2024 – which is notably timed during the highly-anticipated presidential election year.“It's basically third quarter this year, fourth quarter,...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:52:13 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — Standing at his locker Sunday morning, Giants starter Alex Wood made a plea for empathy: “I don’t know if anyone has back issues,” he said.A low back strain forced Wood to the 15-day injured list, and he didn’t have to look far for someone understanding of his situation, joining Ross Stripling as a pair of Giants starters both dealing with back issues. Wood, however, remained optimistic that his strain was less severe than Stripling’s, who remains a way off from returning.“We didn’t want to push it for my next start,” Wood said. “I think it should just be the 15 days.”Wood said an MRI on his back came back clean and that “I already feel like I’m moving better today than the last few days.” The back began causing discomfort before his start in Milwaukee last week but became more serious following his start Wednesday, when he said his lower left side “just locked up a little bit.”...

DENVER (AP) — Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra practically snickered when asked about neutralizing the effective two-man game played by Denver Nuggets teammates Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray.“Yeah, where do you start? You have two guys that can score 50 in a playoff game. One guy is a triple-double machine that loves to get guys involved,” Spoelstra said.“You go down the list of myriad of things you can do defensively, you have to check off some things that you don’t really want to do because of both their ability to score and Jokic’s ability to create something off-script."Spoelstra knows what the Heat are up against; it's nothing new for Denver.
