Thread regarding Amazon.com layoffs

in this layoff time i should be happy with what i have, right?

joined 3 years ago as a stupd senior who keeps asking for a promotion. since i asked the amount of works keep piling and my scopes keep growing... it eventually reached the point that i coordinated eu + asia team by default so my metings start at 7am and end at 9pm... ahh...

on the day my daughter was born i was in meetings almost all dayz. when my wife has postpartum depression i have a meeting conflict and did not go to the therapist with her... sooo - she asked for a divorce...

I got good news that my promotion was approved today... it does not feel happy as i hoped but i feel empty and indifferent... can't stop asking myself what am i doing with my life. but i guess in this layoff shitstorm era i should be happy with what i have right? but how to be happy...

An old story: an exec earning 900K a year prioritizing work over family skipping important moments for meetings only to be cast aside when they are no longer needed by the company...

Some call it bait while thers see it as just how the game works and some believe walking away is the smarter long term choice while others think staying and earning as much as possible is the only option. But what really counts as winning??? Wealth, success, prestige??? or holding onto the people who matter???

Is it possible to have everything or is the trade off just a must here??? Not sure but I know I would not want to go down this path no matter what I would gain.
