#depression

Not sure what to say, everything feels depressed. I hope things turn around and we see some growth. I am afraid that things may not play out this way.

I am one of the impacted associates . Was promoted earlier this year then suddenly let go. Two weeks later, I’m still stuck in my room dealing with constant depression and anxiety.
How is everyone else coping with the sudden change . I clearly didn’t see this coming , falsely assume my rockstar status insulated me

You guys are hilarious!
Depressed when the stock is down. Depressed when the stock is up.
Depressed when there are layoffs.
Depressed when there are no layoffs.

I got laid off in November and I have not found another job. I am feeling very depressed of my situation. One of the hiring managers I interviewed with told me he cant believe Verizon would lay off someone with my experience. But I didnt get selected for the job. I feel like there is a stigma. Makes them question with all the experience and accomplishments I have I couldnt hold a job. My ex colleagues who didnt get laid off have found jobs externally. It was easy for them to land another job.

Cannot put much details but entire teams are being cut. Its just sad and depressing
At the end of the day. We are just numbers on a sheet. To those who are still there, value your life and start looking better things. To those impacted like me, trust in gods plan

I've been through the entire cycle of emotions. Denial, anger, trying to negotiate with myself, depression, and now I'm finally at acceptance. I've landed at the point where a severance feels like the best possible outcome. I'm actually ready for it now.

With all the changes, I fear I'll return to a place I do not recognize. After being sick for so long, it's depressing to read how much worse things have become via posts on this board.

And it's hard to live with the awareness that you can be out of a job anytime. I know I'm not saying anything new, but it's really depressing. It doesn't matter anymore how good you are, or how much you've invested in being even better. The way people are being discarded these days is unlike anything I've ever experienced, and it seems to be getting worse. A job occupies too much space in our lives to be such a negative, stressful experience. It directly affects your confidence and sense of self-worth. And what's the point of a system set up to make both us and our clients deeply unsatisfied and fearful?

This job that I used to love has given me constant anxiety and depression..Im so sick Sunday knowing I have to report to soul su-king prison tomorrow.

If I survive this wave, all I can hope for is more work, more stress, and definitely more chaos. Nothing to look forward to but holding onto this awful job for as long as possible. I'm demoralized to the point of being both numb and depressed. I honestly don't know what's worse anymore - being laid off, or staying.

I’ve been unemployed for 11 months, and watching people I know announce new jobs or promotions makes me feel smaller every time... I want to feel happy for them, but instead I’m left with envy, frustration, and a quiet sadness that doesn’t really go away.

I’m in my mid-30s with no job, no partner, no kids, and it makes me feel stuck, behind... honestly undesirable. The job market is broken. I’ve done the applications... the final-round interviews, the books, the videos, the advice threads --- and none of it has paid off. i’ve come close more times than I can count... and only to see someone else eventually land the role. I can’t ignore the thought that not being white may be part of it.

If you were stuck here this long and still made it out, what actually helped?

I haven’t given up but i am sooo tired

Hey, its a tell all, what's your base salary increase/decrease and bonus increase/decrease, and what is your LOB (or field if business), JPM location (or overall area). Give percentages, or as much detail as possible. Are you depressed about comp?, are you going to quit and why? How long have you worked here? Etc. Let's be transparent.

Tough times peeps, it's depressin

I can't deal with going to work in Dell tomorrow morning. So depressed.

I hope I get lucky, and that everyone else does too, in finding something better in the coming year. This has become unbearable. Watching leadership make one bad decision after another, completely incapable of getting us out of this mess while we stress and suffer for it, has become truly depressing.

..depression is setting in. Thoughts are going to worst case scenerios. Can't help to think everything that I have worked for all these years is in danger.

Losing my job has hit me harder than I expected. The market is brutal right now, and thinking about starting fresh somewhere else feels overwhelming. Even landing anything at all feels like a long shot. This was the worst possible moment to lose my job.

No pay rises,
Have to use holiday at Xmas,
WFR being bandied about,
Incoming staff earning way more than you,
Takeover rumours,
No job satisfactoon whatsoever, its just a job !!
Me, depressed, pi$$ed off, fed up and hate Mondays knowing I've got another 5 days of same old sh1te !

Leaving Nike was the best decision I've made in my life. I did not realize I was in depression working in such a company where employees don't do any actual work. I was at Nike for 5 years and left soul s**king Oregon and Nike. Much happier, lost 30 pounds in a year, my health markers are healthier.

My friends who work there have been trying to get a job for 3 years. That's what nike does to you - make you unfit for jobs outside!

The situation in the GIST department has become absolutely horrible. Everyone is completely burned out and depressed. There are always tons of calls waiting in the queue. We’re the third shift, only about 7 to 12 people working for the entire world — the US, the Americas, Europe, everywhere.

We’re not allowed to have more than two minutes of after-call, and we can’t stay “away” on Teams for even a second. It’s just nonstop calls, one after another, for eight hours straight, with no breathing room. We barely have time to write proper notes on the cases because two minutes simply isn’t enough.

Each of us handles more than 30 technical calls a day, and these are not short calls. I’ve worked in other call centers before, but I’ve never seen anything like this — this one is pure madness. We’re treated like machines, not people.

We’ve been complaining to management for months, and they know exactly what’s going on, but they still refuse to hire more staff. On top of that, we’re taking calls in all languages — English, French, German, — and it makes no sense. Half of the team is depressed, and people are so desperate that they keep calling in sick. It’s absolutely impossible to move to another department.

This place has become unbearable.

Doing this the week before a major holiday makes it more depressing. Not just for those on their way out but for the peers who are left behind to pick up the pieces until the next set of RIFs. Put us out of misery and tell us sooner

I’m trying to quit but can’t find anything and have kids to feed. I’ve been applying daily but the anxiety and depression from work daily is ki-ling my drive. I literally got divorced year 3 working here because it was affecting our romance and I turned quite mean to my spouse just being accountable. I’ve lost everything to this job. Please share tips on how to apply if anyone got lucky enough to leave. I cry in the bathroom weekly. This is no way to live, survival mode.

I can feel my lungs collapsing in on me I am freaking out. I'm 50 years old, flat broke after the divorce and everything is collapsing in on me right now. it feels like it's just not going to get better. like I had my chance and I blew it and that was it. all the jobs are disappearing or getting overseas, I feel like this is it like this is the end of the career and I'm never getting hired again I don't even fu--ing know anymore. maybe it's just time for me to go now anyways, what do I have to look forward except waiting to die in the street

We’ve got more tasks than people, and somehow the management expects miracles. Nobody complains out loud anymore because we all know full well it doesn’t matter. We just get our heads down, grind through it, and hope we don’t get fired in the meantime. It's depressing, to say the least.

It Su-ks, specially ACN su-ks then my socks, Even before the end of September, so many people are stranded in the US Market, another 110 more days to go to touch 2026, for sure the federal proects, banking & retaining industries, Oil domains are breaking into pieces, on top the tarrifs - mortgage, car loans, kids education expenses, medical Expenses ...........................God please save

In FI - three more associates on teams in my group are out on leave due to stress. Constantly altering the roles, adding responsibilities, letting some internal groups who are supposed to support us borderline belittle us, refuse associate vacation day requests since they staff teams so thin - it’s depressing. Directors have said in huddles that they know how bad it is but it doesn’t matter. What a place. It’s so depressing.

Not sure if anyone else is feeling this way, but my depression and anxiety is persisting despite being marked “safe” (for now).

I love my wife and children and am thankful for a paycheck, but am having trouble getting over the anxiety and depression that has loomed over my head in 2025.

Perhaps it is mourning? Mourning and longing for what was in the face of what is today and what is yet to come?

HeadSpace is a joke. It’s a cheap illusion hired by a company that wants to say “we care”.

I’m front row to seeing Chubak walk out of 12555 smiling while the next person is carrying a Fry-Wagner box with their desk’s contents. Cheshire-vibes.

I’m sorry, but I am done. If anyone has any ideas on how to get through this I would appreciate it ❤️

There are some people not doing so well since being laid off. Seriously not doing well. Please seek help.

Feeling anxious and depressed, having trouble sleeping, not being able to enjoy activities that you are used to enjoying are all normal feelings that you may experience after a layoff.

If these feeling persist over time it may be useful to be assessed by a doctor and/or mental health professional. Layoffs can put a lot of emotional stress on relationships and it may be useful to consult with a mental health professional about this as well.
