I was laid off from my last job and just started a new one, but I’m already going through anxiety worrying that every meeting that pops up w my manager is going to result in getting laid off again. 😐

can you get proactive about asking for active feedback? ask for regular check-ins to specifically discuss your performance so you have the opportunity to hear directly from them. that should help in that if there are any issues (either performance or wider agency issues that might precipitate a layoff) you'll have potentially had an opportunity to discuss them. and on tbe positive, it'll be an opportunity for them to tell you how excellent you are.

Take a step back and be objective. You could be catastrophizing which comes from anxiety. Try to get the negative thought loop out of you head.

Am I the only person who has been super disgusted to Fishbowl’s response to the Meta layoffs? I’ve been laid off twice in my career but I’m not mad at 11000 people who no longer have jobs just cause they got decent severance while I got a week on my way out. Facebook is hot garbage but I’m pretty sure 0 out of the 11000 were making those decisions. So why are you upset about it? Urgh. Y’all are weird.

I started a new job recently and then had my PTSD seriously triggered, plus a panic attack.

I let people know there were some personal things going on, but didn’t mention the PTSD—very unsure if that’s something to share, or if I’d be judged for it or... I don’t even know. Has anyone else dealt with PTSD and had it impact them at work, and how did you handle it?
