These recent lay offs have sent me into a tailspin of anxiety. I wake up in the middle of the night panicking. It was so sudden and absolutely blind sighting. The realization that no one is safe is terrifying. Anyone feel this way?

Yep. But after 4 layoffs in my career, I’ve learned that nothing/no one/no employer is “safe” unless you are hustling from under your own shingle.

... and from under my own shingle let me just add that clients hoarding cash are bolting, ending long term contracts ... so it’s the equivalent of getting laid off. No way to pay your bills except ... no big name firm on your resume to prop you up and get you to the next gig.

Appreciate all you stylish folk and hope everyone has a great day.
