#anxiety

Any info on the next round? I hate holding my breath every year when it starts happening. Just me?

How much longer do we need to wait? Just get over with it fu--ing sadists.

Already stressing but need to know when I need to REALLY start stressing

I hope that anyone who has anxiety or stress about the possibility of being laid off or being “percented” finds peace. This company is failing and desperate to satisfy investors. It really isn’t you, it’s bp. Leadership has failed. If you are let go, it will su-k and it won’t feel good. But you’re smart, you’re talented, and you’re experienced. You’ve got this. Go out there and get it. <3

I know I need to leave this place, but I have no idea when I'll finally get the chance.

The AD was shaking, voice weard, eyes blinking when talking about the Pulse, going to crash under the loads.

Still at Oracle.

Layoffs galore.

This board always follow the same pattern: anxiety before the event, urgency during notifications, this is followed by anger, disappointment, uncertainty. Sometimes there is some relief afterwards.

Cannot change the beast. Oracle will Oracle, there will be layoffs again.

Count our blessings, enjoy your work if you can, if you cannot try to find something else. I've had it and I am looking around - this round sealed it for me.

Good luck all...

I have never seen Halliburton do a layoff every week. Shannon and Jeff up there are destroying lives and going to sleep peacefully. How evil is that? They are getting rid of people in the name of cost savings blaming it on the war, can anyone explain how they decide who leaves? I’ve seen people who have done well performance still get laid off. The rest of the year is going to be anxiety effing riddle. Eff you j and s

I need this job. I have a chronic disease and I can't afford being without either income or medical. Having to worry about more layoffs every single day has been only making me feel worse. It's not humane to expect us to deal with so much stress all the time. Is there even a small chance we'll go back to occasional layoffs instead of this constant threat of cuts any time soon?

Everyone is so on edge lately and it’s honestly becoming exhausting to be around. Every little thing turns into a complaint or a conversation about how bad things are, how they can’t get their work done, how they don’t have what they need, how leadership is doing this or that

And I get it. People are worried. There’s a lot of uncertainty and nobody really knows what’s coming next. But at the same time, we still have jobs to do. It’s getting to the point where people are complaining about not being able to do their jobs while also spending half their time complaining about everything going on.

You can literally feel the anxiety in every meeting. Someone mentions a change or sends an email and suddenly everyone is trying to figure out what it something means

I’m not saying people shouldn’t be concerned, because obviously there are legitimate reasons to be but the constant doom and complaining is getting really old. It’s making an already stressful situation even more miserable

How many layoffs have we survived just in the last three years? I lost count. I'm not even joking. Every single round takes a major toll on our mental and in some cases physical health. So much stressing, so much anxiety is not good for any of us, and we have to go through it basically all the time. It's inhumane.

I hate what Teradata has become, expecting us to work 12-14 hour days to meet unrealistic expectations.. we can’t sleep, we can’t eat, we can’t spend time with our families. There is no work-life balance here

How do you stop thinking about the fact that your job could disappear tomorrow? I know I can't control it, but that doesn't make the worry any easier.

I'm praying for layoffs to happen. Never thought this day would come, but it did. I just need this to be over.

i really dont have anything to report but i can tell you that the amount of stress my team is going thru is tremendous.

i've never seen anything like this and i've been around 10+ years. i think the uncertainty is the biggest culprit here and on top of this everyone wants things to be done yesterday and we've lost people and the amount of work went up.

i dont think this can be sustained.

Maybe we shouldnt worry about layoffs, we'll all be gone anyway.

I am worried with these recent rumors about another 10% layoff. Worried for mortgage and new kid. :( let me get back to work

My responsibilities have tripled since then, my entire team is anxious, morale is at its lowest, and leadership hasn't addressed the burnout. Instead of gratitude, I feel overwhelmed and resentful. Layoffs are sometimes just as bad for those who are "lucky" to stay.

I am pretty sure there is something in the rebadging contract which is making to get delayed . Is the vendor not okay to rebadge all or want everyone as individual contributor or what is the expectation? We are making a guess of Deloitte vs HCL vs Infosys vs bla bla but are the vendors ready to accept everyone or they just need 50 percent of current headcount and rest will be fired ?
The level of anxiety is too high such that any person who is in loan repayment or in debt trap , it is such a huge mental stress . I know it is simple to say , try outside but considering the current market condition , getting a job is not that easy as it was early especially when the hiring companies are clearly segregating, this resume is from VZ

September 14th is meant to be catostrophic. Good luck all.

Hold your loved ones close. I know I will be holding

I ‘medically’ retired a couple of months ago. Stress and anxiety was getting the best of me and all because of Wells Fargo. My labs showed things drastically off and my doctor took me off work so First I went out on Short term disability, this gave me time to think about my future and what was best for me.
I was the oldest on my team (62) and totally was the target or ageism. My quality and production was good - but had one bad customer survey last summer- keep in mind I had just returned to work after 3 mos due to a surgery. It impacts the team that was working on that file. I claim zero responsibility for any fault or my own as I had just returned to work. By the end of the year I was being recognized for excellent customer service. Yet, I still received a “needs improvement” for that reason - AGEISM!!! I know Charlie wants more NI so WF doesn’t have to pay out severance. To other coworkers on the same team were on PIPS due to bad quality - yet one got exceeds and the other Meets. This is soooooo wrong. I hope my prior manager reads this or HR. They will know it’s me!!
Meanwhile, I was all set up financially to retire and have zero regrets- other than I wasted too much off blood sweat and tears for this company. They can FO

You can get dozens of interviews and never get hired.

When is the next round of IT layoffs? A lot of my team was affected in the last round I have a feeling my turn is coming up. Will it be before the end of the year? In this market most of us are in big trouble if we lose our jobs. It is rough out there

I can't seem to get rid of the knot in my gut even now.

How often do people like me get cut? I've already seen some newer faces disappear. Is it just bad luck, or are we in more danger?

Do they want us to quit to avoid the stress and anxiety? Is that what's behind all of these delays?

It's the first day of the month and in-office adherence reporting hasn't updated!!! Just like every month before this one!!! What will we DO?!

Just getting ahead of the curve.

Sorry I'm late to posting. I'm the same person who shared OIM database activity from the last RIF. Just seeing the anxiety here is making me sick and sorry for everyone affected. The last detail I can add is that additions to the enqueue table have seemed to stop. Not saying there won't be any more additions, but the activity in that enqueue table which is triggered during these RIFs has stopped. I hope those affected will be alright. Please rest and take care of yourself.

not done playing with us aren't they ? i will just assume i am on the list .

Reddit thread has me anxious. Poster stating that PBM layoffs will include up to 700 Customer Care either starting on or by 1/1/27. Poster correctly stated that Care is being outsourced to vendors.

Can anyone confirm the legitimacy of this claim? I have two small children and extremely anxious. I have to make sure they’re taken care of. Care is being outsourced to other vendors but seems strange to lay off 700 people right in advance of Welcome Season (our busiest time of year).

Anything anyone can offer is appreciated.

My manager got cut. My colleagues got cut. I feel extremely nervous every minute, just waiting for my turn. I’ve been trying to find another position, but it hasn’t been going well.

Sorry for venting. I’m trying to stay strong, but it’s not easy.

I just want it to be over with. The stress of waiting is one of the worst feelings. Time to leave it behind us.

If anyone is impacted today from Ireland can you say what dept you are in just so we can have an idea

So many rumors that today is the day for Ireland with numbers ranging 170 to 450

I'd say the 170 number seems more realistic

If nothing happens today I'm going to put it out of my mind and just continue on with my day to day at work

Living with this constant dread and threat hanging over us is absolutely draining and it's ruining my mental health

I want to vomit. The only thing I would miss from this job is the cell phone

How is everyone feeling? I’m petrified but also ready to end this fear of something always lurking around the corner. I know there will be more layoffs to come, that’s a definite, and at least we won’t worry on that anymore but I have so much more to worry about also. Godspeed to everyone, best of luck in your journey.

Somewhere, there's a spreadsheet with your name on it. The criteria could be anything, tenure, pay, age, or who knows what. Just make sure you're ready.

Pretty sure that we will hear about the layoff this Friday or next Monday. I'm bracing myself for it.
These multiple waves of layoffs are making me sick.

Any clue if more layoffs are planned?

Do you think tomorrow is the day? I’m so tired of being anxious all the time. I’m having nightmares of getting laid off at nights. It’s draining my soul.
