Today was a turning point for me regarding job security. My company announced layoffs, and while I was lucky enough to keep my position, two of my teammates were let go. Since hearing the news, I’ve been overwhelmed with a mix of emotions—sadness for my colleagues, fear about the future, and even guilt for being safe when they weren’t. It’s hard not to spiral into thoughts like, "What if it had been me? What would I have done?" The job market feels incredibly unstable right now, and it’s unsettling to realize how quickly things can change. I can’t shake the feeling that factors like AI advancements and the current economic climate are contributing to the layoffs happening across many companies. My heart goes out to those affected; I can’t imagine the stress they must be feeling. Has anyone else felt this way after layoffs, even if you weren’t directly impacted? I’m curious how others cope with the anxiety that follows.
