People were mentioning inevitable major layoffs a few months ago but nothing has happened so far. Did that rumor fizzle out or are those layoffs still a possibility?

I don't know what's your situation like, but I have never had less motivation for work. Creativity is at zero. I'm thinking, is this just a passing phase and is it just up to me to quit because I have nothing more to give to this company, or have you... — read more
