I am feeling a lot of stress in these times of uncertainty. Everyone is talking about the continuation of layoffs during the next month, but it seems that no one has information on main targets and how many people will be affected. Perhaps someone here knows something more?

WD has a nice education assistance program. Few use it. If you are stressed, start to get another degree. Let WD support it and work hard. 5 years later you have a another degree and most important stopped to worry. I did this 2015-2020 at WD. Should do it again. It helped me a lot.
You can of course also walk away if you have a place to go to and new place is better. Who knows?
If they let you go and you get a package you should consider yourself one of the lucky ones. This is your opportunity to go get a meaningful career and stop wasting your time pretending to work. You know who you are.
I’m on the same boat and not sure what I can do at the moment. If there’s anyone with a little bit of information regarding the targeted orgs, that would be so much helpful.
don't stress about things out of your control. Focus on what you can control which is your plan for either outcome. Once you have a plan you will feel more comfortable.
Assume you are a target unless your in your executive inner circle. Start looking.
