Lazy-Wishbone9279's journey

I've been working in corporate communications at a publicly traded company that has been tightening its belt for the past year. We've had a hiring freeze, no travel, and no team events. Over the last six months, my team of 35 has shrunk by 5-6 people due to vague 'strategic' layoffs. The atmosphere is tense, and my remaining colleagues are on edge, as we've been warned that more cuts are coming. This environment has led to an increase in petty backstabbing and unnecessary hostility among team members, which is particularly frustrating in a role where collaboration is key. The information hoarding is making us look unprofessional, and honestly, I'm so fed up with the negativity that I wouldn't mind being laid off at this point. Just hoping for the best, but it's hard to stay positive in this situation.
