Living like this is not healthy. If this continues, I might start hoping to be laid off to get a paid opportunity to find something where layoffs are not omnipresent.

Job security has always been an illusion.
Unfortunately, no. Especially in Telecom or Tech. It’s been this way every year since the fall of Worldcom in the late 90s. Need to deliver value to the shareholders before end of fiscal year.
This is my second round of layoffs in a year.
Simply put - no. Every impropteu meeting sends chills down my spine. I also watched my mom be "outsourced" from her corporate job of 35 years in the early 00s and that taught me that there really is no job security anywhere. It was a different company, different industry, but that woman never took a sick day, never let anything slip through the cracks, and came in to work one day to an empty banker box on her desk with a copy of a copy of a copy of a form about COBRA... and nothing else.
It never existed.
Welcome to corporate america?

Transparently, I don’t think so. Comcast aside, macro economic factors aren’t in a place where layoffs are going to slow down. It’s sad
