I just don’t have the capacity to worry anymore. I don’t care about the date, I don’t care if I get to keep the job, and I don’t care about the state of the job market. If I work myself up to the point of being a basket case, I won’t be able to handle what’s coming anyway. And it’s not like this has been the best job ever, so losing it wouldn’t exactly be a life-defining tragedy.

Can only be prepared, but the stress isn't helpful, and you can't ever know. The state of work, America, the globe - gotta find joy where we can, and find ways to disabuse ourselves of the stress of what we are unable to control.
Felt the same. Came up in a regular doctors visit, turns out the stress turned into a severe mental condition that will last long beyond Verizon. Take care of yourself.
If anyone wants to volunteer as a tribute you simply need to email your Sr Dir or up and you too can be placed on the list!!

I am sorry to hear that. I felt the same way last year when I exited.
I would strongly suggest that you get some help - you sound a bit down. I went though something similar and the book “ upward spiral” helped me. Try to find joy in family and hobbies and remember - we work to live , not the other way round. Take care.
Pretty awful to read this, but it resonates.
Same.
