Real talk: how much should those of us who are lower on the totem pole be worried about layoffs?

Hi everyone, I need some big sister advice if anyone can help. I feel really lost in my career. I was doing decently in my career until 2020 when I got laid off. I was consulting independently for a bit after layoff and then ended up getting a job in the non-profit space 1.5 years ago. The thing is after I got laid off I’ve lost all my excitement. I don’t feel motivated to do anything. I’m not low performing at my job in any way but I also don’t care for it. I’ve been stuck on the same salary of

Have you ever negotiated a severance? Company ended my employment and wants me to sign a mutual non-disparagement, waive suing them, etc. but they didn't offer me any money. They are fully in the wrong, it's a disability related issue. My options are 1. Sign 2. Refuse to sign 3. Try to negotiate. 4. Sue them (contingent on attorney taking the case). I'd prefer to negotiate, but not sure that's realistic.

Do you have any tips/advise for someone who was laid off recently and early in their career?

Does a severance usually come with a lack of work letter? (Big4)

recently promoted to senior analyst into a new group (internal transfer). Been in the role for 2 months, and everytime I make a mistake I always get anxious that I'm going to be fired.

OK gonna maybe open a can of worms here but I have to ask: it seems the sudden inflation we're seeing has taken the ins. ind. by surprise. The cost/expense projections done X yrs. ago for this and poss'y subsequent yrs. have been thrown off. Costs to repair/replace cars have shot up unexpectedly. Same for houses. Med costs have all gone up. Ins. cos. have relatively thin profit margins to begin with. There's talk of cost-cutting measures-- incl. layoffs. How realistic are these concerns?

So are the layoffs at Deloitte over ?

I have a contingent offer after being laid off in spring due to COVID. Since then the job market has obviously been tough, so a few buddies and I started a start up that has done very well, but we haven’t filed for LLC status yet (keeps pushing back). We have ~10 guys working on various areas. I just received an offer back in my usual industry, and have been truthful in my experiences. Will they ding me in a background check since there’s no 1099 to prove formal employment? FYI I have references

As a UX/UI designer with a non design background (just a minor in interaction design), i find it rough to get more efficient at software. Figma, sketch, adobe CC… idk if i just need more practice since it doesnt come naturally or if im in the wrong field.

I have heard probation period is being extended for many employees is it true? If yes is there worry of getting fired?
