Nearly half of companies surveyed plan to keep their headcount unchanged in the fourth quarter, while graduate employment has also softened.

A man missed the birth of his second child after choosing to attend an important client meeting while his wife was in labour. He says his supervisor pressured him to prioritise work, warning that missing the meeting could affect his performance and promotion prospects. The next morning, he went to work — only to return to the hospital after 20 missed calls and discover that his son had already been born.
