Sorry to hear. I pray through any situation. When I survive, I give thanks, but pray for the strength of my coworkers. When I’m hit, I pray for strength, patience and wisdom to see it through on the other side. I will pray for you and your coworkers.

Thanks for the kind words!
Amazing.
Unless you’re willing to get blind drunk, there are no strategies. No matter what you do, it will always be in the back of your mind.
All you can do is show up to work on Monday and hope to make it to Tuesday. Then show up on Tuesday and hope to make it to Wednesday. And if you make it to Wednesday, congratulations…your company doesn’t think you’re worthless.
If you don’t make it that far, file for unemployment, collect your benefits (you earned them, after all), re-skill and start searching.

Thanks for a straight answer. Ironically I work for an alcohol brand so yes…I will take you up on getting blind drunk ;)
Trust yourself to have the strength and intelligence to deal with whatever will come and try to put it out of your mind for now by staying busy.

Good idea. Working on my side project this weekend to stay distracted.
We are under threat of layoffs right now as well and it is a scary time. I feel your pain completely. I hope this week goes well for you and you get some good news.
I’m sure you’ll be fine but I understand your worry. I have been laid off and it was a complete shock to me. Honestly, I don’t know how to calm your nerves but hopefully you’ll know the next 24 to 48 hours. Good luck to you.
Only tip is to start updating your resume and applying to jobs. Get ahead just in case, but keep this thread updated!

Update survived day 2. But there will be another round in a month :(
I'd lean into the things that bring you joy/peace outside of work, and try to remember that as big as this feels, it's only a blip in your overall life - who YOU are and what you bring to the table hasn't changed. Best of luck!

Thanks! Having two toddlers at home is a great distraction! And motivation!

I made it through this round just for our leadership to announce another is coming later this month aligned with signing a new deal with an agency.

The next round of layoffs they said will happen toward the end of the year since a new contract to outsource a bunch of our work is taking longer to negotiate and sign the contract then planned. Great news for all of us on the chopping block. We can get our notice as our holiday gift. Any tips to cope? I’m just trying to keep my nose to the grind stone.
