Facebook (now Meta) had insane salaries, just like Google and a couple of big names. That meant that
- They attracted flocks of employees in search of easy money.
- Everything in that area had hyper-inflated prices because now it was full of grossly overpaid kids ready to throw money around like candies.
- Then they get periodically downsized and these people require even more money because they burned all they got and they can claim better past salaries. The prices in that area are still hyper-inflated though.

Jeez, that sounds harsh. The article I read said they were terminating 11000 jobs.

Either that or it was better than his original solution!

Not the greatest clue, grabbed in a hurry from a "how to solve cryptics" book.

It was not up to your usual standard

Having been completely baffled by the solution I only just realised that the first line was a comment and not part of the clue

Rush, the band?
Hour, session?

When making ice cream, ensure that you seat the churn paddle properly, or indeed at all.
The result if you don't is a frozen shell of crud with a liquid centre ...
It's going to be one of those days, I can tell.

Much the same - but also much worse when you come to clean up afterwards - as forgetting the paddle in a bread machine. At least you can just let the crud melt and tip it all away. What do you do with a solid biscuit welded to the sides of the pan?

Had that happen once. Filled the "pan" with water, let it soak for several hours, bread rinsed right out.
