#anxiety

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.

Hearing lot of anxiety from colleagues in ROT, how is the situation there?

I work in tech and want to stay anonymous but I am worried almost every day about loss of remote days or just the loss of my job.

Getting antsy lol

What time do you think layoffs will start on Tues AM?

Enrollment in Washington D.C. schools has declined. This decrease is linked to heightened anxieties within immigrant communities. Families are reportedly experiencing increased risks of deportation. Concerns also exist about harassment on the way to educational institutions. These factors are contributing to a stressful environment for English learner families.

My manager still hasn't provided his feedback on my FY26 performance review, it's still in-progress on him.
Do you know what was the deadline for manager evaluation step?
Am I a goner?

I am not going to lie or write platitudes. It took me by surprise and I has been not able to recover. Do I need to be sweet and write beautiful things??? AH ????

With all the never-ending stress, I had to turn to medicating myself to prevent my blood pressure from skyrocketing. Not much I can do about my mental state, though.

I got the emails yesterday to confirm all of my personal information, emergency contacts and mailing address. I know they do this here and there, but it also seems like they have done this right before a big cut.

I have no basis for this - just my gut. I guess we'll see what happens. Either way, at least it'll be done and I can stop worrying - 15 years of this garbage and I've had enough.

Please tell me tomorrow is the last day of all this for this round? It’s terrible to sit, try to work and wait your turn for a last minute invite 😶

Anyone from SMHK affected yet? They all but promised us our jobs but I’m nervous…

This is all really eerie and so sad. Rest easy and take it one day at a time. Prayers for everyone. 🙏

I’m so sorry that we are all going through such an anxious time right now. I wasn’t eligible for the VSP and am almost certain to be RIF’d — so please know I understand the fear and anxiety. I hope everyone impacted ends up better than they were before.

I was wondering if anyone who has been RIF’d today can share whether or not they were offered any kind of severance?
