I've thought long and hard about writing on here again and it's been aching at me to get it out. I am angry at the layoffs yes, it's a sh---y situation to sit and wait to hear if you're the next one voted of this toxic island, most of us have kids on the way, have parents we are supporting and/or are the only bread winner. Jobs are scarce and fuel prices and living expenses keep climbing at a speed we can never catch up to that being said I am angry because I've been here far longer than I would like to acknowledge, I've had to bite my tongue and suck it up for a very long time because of the above mentioned sh---y life responsibilities (and yes I've been looking for a new job for awhile now) but I've experienced things I never have in other businesses I've worked at,from racism, micro-agressions, toxic managers, bullying etc, I would be here all day if I had to lay it all out. I've stuck it out for far too long although some 2u members might have not experienced the above, there as been plenty that have resigned that left because of this. They have sucked the life out of many extremely talented individuals who have gone above and beyond for this place only to be told to leave.
Let's remember that this is "A great place to work".
So no I haven't been cut yet but I know my time is coming, I can see it in the interactions from my managers and leads but as much as it might sting and I stress I know that I will never allow myself to stay in a place like this again.
Mental health over a job that you are clearly easily replaced at.
That being said I hope that if you were cut or told that you need to do the cutting unwilling or you are stressing at the uncertainty, that you speak to someone, look after your mental well-being, it's more important.
May you all find good healthy jobs and peace.
