Accenture folks, seeing lots of news about layoffs at other firms here. Are we in the same situation?

I think I have work trauma not sure how it’s clouding my ability to make decisions. I’ve had unstable work after being laid off from a company 3 years ago. I thought I worked out a plan to get to a stable place but my job is proving to be unstable yet again. I secured a FT role at another company but because it’s a lot less money I’m unsure because I feel very cynical about companies in general. I assume it’ll be just like all the rest but now I’ll just be making less and could get laid off.

Ultimately I think we will be ok, but I know he's hurting / stressed / and could use a supportive partner.
