Don't take what you read here as gospel. There's a lot of people who are understandably angry. Some were impacted, some not.
Reading through the threads there are details that just don't add up in some of them.
I assume that most posts are being made in good faith, but details, especially the scope of impacts, are getting blown out of proportion.
Just because you read "all of X "was impacted, don't assume it applies to you. If you make it through today, you're supposed to be good, at least in the U.S. Those on leave or PTO are different stories of course, but at least knowing that this is supposed to be over in a day gives those who survive the latest LR some peace.
