It’s honestly becoming the standard operating procedure at this point. I stopped counting the layoff waves years ago, but the constant drip-feed of WARN filings really drains the morale. When you see your colleagues getting cut in small batches like this, it makes it impossible to commit to long-term projects. I’ve just been keeping my resume updated and maintaining a strictly professional distance from the office politics. It sucks, but looking out for yourself is the only way to stay sane in this environment anymore.
The uncertainty is definitely the worst part of working here. Every time a new notice pops up, the chatter starts, and productivity tanks for a week while everyone stares at their Slack status waiting for a ping. I’ve started treating every day like I might not be here next month, which is a miserable way to live, but it keeps the panic down. Just focus on your own output and start reaching out to your network now—don't wait until you're the one on the list.
