It's so tiring to be focused on the possibility of losing your job 24/7. I'm always saving money to the point I can't enjoy my hobbies anymore. I don't know the last time I bought a book or a game because I can't justify the expense even if I can afford it because I could potentially be laid off any day now. This is a very sad way to live and nobody responsible for it seems to care.

I have the same mentality. Already living financially like I lost my job. In constant fear & stress
You are wise to save it for a rainy-day fund and if you save enough a Roth IRA for when you retire. It is the best way you to take care of yourself.
@OP I feel exactly the same way. No advice, just solidarity.
@OP I'm sure the people that interact with you care. The company doesn't care because it's an entity. If it's this damaging to your state of mind you should seek employment elsewhere.
Your retirement will thank you for that.
