Thread regarding Optum layoffs

They hang over us all the time as a looming threat. Layoffs can and do happen at all times, not just during the big rounds. We’re all anxious about losing our jobs in this economy. Most of us are empathetic, well-adjusted people, and it’s been deeply impactful to watch our colleagues lose their livelihoods. It’s much worse for them, of course, but the negative impact on the rest of us is often overlooked. I fear this year might be the toughest in a long time. Be good to yourself and to others—it’s the key to getting through tough times.
