Layoffs twice a year are bound to keep us anxious, stressed and unfocused not just when they happen, but also in the weeks immediately before and after. This has caused such a huge loss in morale in my team over time that all but one person are considering leaving the company. How are we expected to function in these circumstances?

You really should leave
You think the management would stay at Bose if they manage to get a better offer?
Simple solution: Quit. Find a better place. It is detrimental to your health and the team.
"People are working all kinds of crazy hours just trying to keep up, afraid of what will happen if they don’t. At what point does positivity become a delusion?"
If it wasn't a delusion before the recent layoffs, it is certainly a delusion now.
For teams half their size from just a year ago, with the same amount of work, morale is a joke. People are working all kinds of crazy hours just trying to keep up, afraid of what will happen if they don’t. At what point does positivity become a delusion?
Family and friends are sick of hearing about it. “Oh, another layoff!? WHY are you still there?!”
I 100% agree. Management is doing nothing to assure us. Just yesterday a great coworker put in their notice. I’ve started looking for new jobs.
