My company announced that they will be laying off 2000 employees soon and I am so nervous that what if I am among those people. It is keeping me out of focus at work.

Any suggestions to deal with this anxiety?

It’s crazy to see a lot of these companies let their employees go. I hope you are not one of them. I understand the nervousness and anxiety all too well because the same thing happened to me a few years ago. I deal with anxiety by working out, enjoying my favorite hobbies, and being around loved ones.

I am grateful that I have my family and my partner around me. I am praying that I am not in that list but lets see what happens.

Channel that anxiety into preparation. Freshen up your resume and cover letter and start getting them out. I am likely facing a layoff this year as well so I understand the pain.

It sucks to be honest. I am trying my best to apply at other companies in advance already in case I am among those who are getting laid off.

Wondering if anyone can share the approximate timeline after applying to Target Corp. to hearing something from them. Applied 9/1 and on the applicant portal the status still says “in progress.” I got a great internal referral, but I’ve not reached out to the hiring manager. 😬 I know there were a few hundred applicants — what’s a realistic timeline and what could I say to the hiring manager if I reach out to them. Many thanks.

I am an senior associate at a small (8-10 attorneys) immigration firm in NYC. My base is 110k and I get 30% for the cases and clients I bring in. My revenue was 370k last year and I did 250k till April this year.

My issue is, I have so much firm's work that I have hard time to work on my cases/clients. It feels like my cases are supposed to be done after hours (like after 6 pm). My work hours are crazy. I feel this is unfair and since my firm's taking 70% of my sales. Should I ask for a raise?
