This site has made me lose sleep and these upcoming rumored layoffs have me so anxious on a daily basis.
I am a stellar employee and a great team player and have great relationships with my team and leadership, but I don’t feel safe.
Thinking about going back in the job market unwillingly is so stressful.

Okay, as someone who has worked here for a long time- If you focus on the RIF's you'll drive yourself crazy. For all of us, the die is cast and there is not point to worry. The best thing you can do for anxiety is to be proactive. update your resume, LinkedIn, and apply for at least one job. Take control in your hands, don't like the situation control you.
And yet we are expected to perform at a high level,work long hours, be a team player, all the while holding our collective breathes to see who will still have employment in a week. It has caused sleepless nights, elevated blood pressures, anxiety, etc. It feels crazy to have to proceed as if all is well, knowing that your life (and your family’s ) may be upended in a week.
What a way to live and work.
Meanwhile, the shareholders remain….pleased.
Same! I put off big purchases as well just anxiously waiting to see if it’s my time or not! It’s def an uneasy feeling
