Rant: Honestly, I'm so burnt out and stressed, bring on the layoffs!

I'm so tired of the constant pressure to perform, the endless meetings, and the feeling that my job could disappear at any moment. I've been working my butt off for the past three years on the [redacted team name] team, and I feel like I'm running on fumes. If Block is going to do layoffs, just do them already! Rip the band-aid off! The uncertainty is worse than actually losing my job at this point. I'd rather have a severance package and some free time to recharge than continue down this path of constant anxiety. I know it sounds crazy, but that's how I feel. Anyone else?

I hear you. The constant uncertainty is definitely the worst part. Been there, done that at [previous company]. Honestly, start prepping your resume now. Even if layoffs don't happen, it'll give you a sense of control and maybe even open up better opportunities. Look into companies with better work-life balance.

Layoffs aren't the magic bullet you think they are. Often, the people left behind end up doing even MORE work with fewer resources. Plus, the severance package isn't always as generous as you imagine. While I get your frustration, be careful what you wish for.
