How can we get anything done with layoffs and reorgs constantly hanging over our heads? Sunday evenings have been ruined for long, now I am sick from anxiety also on Wednesday nights. When will it stop? When we are stressed every single day just from the prospect of losing a job? All other pressure from doing the actual work is not enough?

It’s nuts. There’s not enough headcount, then there’s more administrative work each time you get a new leader. Add that to constant loss of resources and cleaning up mess. Now this week I get to explain why something that should have never been sent to my team in the first place was delayed getting to the intended recipient who doesn’t have a mailbox set up. Give me a break & just let me do my job.
Looks like the lay off dates are getting bumped up a week. Original date was 2/29, but looks like the layoffs occurred 2/22. I believe there are 2 layoff dates in March, April, and May. I will purposely avoid going in the office on Thursdays until this series of layoffs is over. My anxiety is through the roof.
Yes! Plus I think this monthly Thursday layoff approach puts employees in potential danger. I’m afraid to be in the office on Thursdays and I can’t be the only one because now it seems Thursdays have less people in person like Mondays and Fridays have been quiet.
