WF Layoff Rant - I'm so sick of this anxiety

Honestly, I'm just venting. I'm so tired of the constant fear of layoffs hanging over my head. It feels like it's been this way for years. We bust our butts, meet our goals, and still, there's always this underlying threat. I can't focus on my work because I'm constantly worried about losing my job. It's affecting my sleep, my relationships, everything. I know I should probably just start looking for another job, but it's easier said than done. And honestly, where *isn't* this happening right now? I just needed to get that off my chest. Thanks for listening, internet strangers.

I feel you. The constant uncertainty is the worst part. It's hard to be productive when you're spending half your time wondering if you'll *have* a job next month. I started documenting everything I do, just in case. Sounds paranoid, but it makes me feel a little more in control. Good luck, hope things turn around for you (and all of us).

Seriously. Every big company is like this now. They dangle the threat of layoffs to squeeze more out of everyone. I jumped ship last year after the last "restructuring" and haven't regretted it. Sure, there's risk everywhere, but at least I'm not constantly on edge. Start looking around; even just seeing what's out there can give you some peace of mind and maybe a backup plan.
