If it's true that layoffs will continue well into March

we'll all go nuts before it's over. That's months of sustained anxiety on top of the regular stress and bloated workload. I'm already exhausted. Within a month, I'll probably be wishing they'd lay me off, job and bills be damned, just so I'm no longer dealing with all this. Sometimes I wonder how we all manage to survive and stay relatively healthy.


January Rumors

A few of the posts, the 2026 thread and the threads from October’s layoffs both mention potential cuts coming this month. Last time the cuts happened a little before the earnings report, which is scheduled for January 30th.

Has anyone heard anything or seen any indications of more cuts coming this month?
