I’ve been so anxious and stressed about the possibility of being laid off during one of the many rounds. That on top of my job being stressful enough. At one point I realized I have been literally destroying my health. From then on, I’ve learned quite well to distance myself from worry around the work. I started to ignore anything not major around the team and not impacting my corner of the responsibilities. I absolutely do not care if I’ll be laid off or not. I do the ritual of once a week committing to the job search. Being aware that there are always other options really helps. Sc--w this or any other company - I will not let them ruin my life.

I would love to get a Lay Off...
How can I make that happen?
@okv+1uOswyZK Good advice, but specifically put it into a HYSA or treasury bonds. Savings accounts at companies like Wells Fargo / BoA have ludicrously awful interest rates and you can 10x that with HYSA/bonds.
it's also a good habit to start saving 10% of your net income. just throw it in a savings account for a rainy day. "into every life, a little rain must fall."
