Feeling like a layoff is inevitable... when's the shoe gonna drop?

Okay, this is probably a rant, but I'm genuinely anxious. With all the market headwinds and the ongoing Discover deal (which feels like a massive undertaking that could easily lead to overlap), I'm just waiting for the axe to fall. We haven't had any *official* news, but the vibe feels off. Fewer internal job postings, hiring freezes in some departments, and the general economic climate... it all points to potential cuts down the line. Anyone else feeling this sense of impending doom? I'm trying to prep, update my resume, and network, but it's hard to focus when you're just waiting for bad news. Feels like we're just a number, and when it's time to 'optimize', we'll be out.

I hear your anxiety, it's completely understandable given the current economic climate and the massive integration ahead with Discover. It’s tough when there's no official word, and you're left to piece things together from subtle signs like fewer internal postings or hiring freezes. Management communication really matters during these uncertain times. Hopefully, things will become clearer soon, and you can get a better sense of what's happening. Hang in there.
