I’ve chickened out so many times already, and with the job market the way it is, I’m extremely hesitant. Still, I can barely drag myself to work every day. I can’t stand this company, and I’m bored out of my mind with my job. It’s all pressure, it’s mind-numbing, and there’s absolutely no payoff. Better they give me the boot when I don’t have the guts to do it myself. That said, I don’t wish layoffs on anyone who, for whatever reason, needs this cr-p of a job.

@23y Tripled your salary? Were you an intern or a liar.
i stopped by the site to see if anything had changed. it has not.
i was let go with no severance in 11/22. the two woke goons fu-serv travelled to lincoln had my comments from the anonymous survey.
that was a really difficult holiday season, but in less than 3 years I have tripled my income. I work for a great company. don't wait for fu-serve to dictate you exit. tell your coworkers and just walk away.
i earned everything i got.
little frankie ran fu-serve like his personal atm. with that comment, the two woke goons will know who i am.
probably diddled each other on the way back.
@OP It's time to pay attention! The days of layoffs and severance are over. You will be turned into a contractor. If you don't have a project to work on, you will be let go from that position. It's time for you to find a new job.
@ay Exactly. If the OP has such existential dread, they should just quit and find the initiative to get another job. It's a lot of work and energy to find another job!
Being laid off is not a prize. Unless you are a top performer at the highest end of your salary, you can leave and nobody will care. The high performers will have a network that will scoop them up with another company quickly.
You’re not stuck. You’re just soft.
You treat your job like background noise, hoping someone else makes the hard call.
You’re not useful, and people know it—even if they don’t say it.
You grew up with comfort someone else paid for.
You could stall, coast, check out—and nothing collapsed.
Dinner still showed up.
The bills still got paid.
You were allowed to drift.
That’s not resilience. That’s insulation.
Now you’re bored, and you think that means something’s wrong.
It doesn’t.
It means you’ve never learned how to push through anything that doesn’t entertain you.
You chase stimulation like it’s survival.
Games. Feeds. Fantasies about the next job.
But you won’t change.
You’ll bring the same habits, the same avoidance, the same emptiness.
And when it’s time to speak, you stall.
You stare.
You’ve got the posture of someone who’s never had to explain anything that mattered.
Just that blank, buffering look—like you’re waiting for someone to translate reality into TikTok captions.
You weren’t taught how to communicate.
You were taught how to perform.
Companies love to say “everyone’s replaceable.”
Most of the time, it’s just talk.
Sometimes, it's you
@OP I hope you get terminated for cause. You are a pathetic and worthless soul. You seem like a freeloading je-k.
@a1 I agree. The OP is the epitome of a pu--y. I hope that person gets terminated with cause. Serves them right.
