I want to know what you are looking forward to if and when you do get let go in the next few weeks. Are you look To spend more time with your kids? Home improvement projects? Travel? Resting and relaxing? Or are you just looking to jump into a new job?

Severance and early retirement. Freedom! I am one of the few that hopes I’m the one.
Now communications and HR are trying to get us excited about being laid off. We don’t want it MM.
It depends how big the severance is. If it’s 6 month severance it will be nice to have extra cash after getting a new job. If I get a new job soon enough after then I’ll probably buy a new car.
As a person who prays every day not to be laid off, If that happens, I get to enjoy not being stressed and live at the edge evey day..... Admittedly, I am extremely nervous at work watching closely how my Dir micro manages me and how passive aggressive his interaction is.. I usually have to use the restroom a few times a day just to calm down my anxiety attacks...so it ducks but still I am hoping to get paid in this economy
Leaving Portland and enjoying the summer. I can dedicate time to upskill into a whole new career. Also get 8 hours of sleep consistently. Enjoy not being micromanaged.
Heavy dr-gs.
Severance + semiretirement (maybe part time job)
Severance + new job beats new job alone
Looking forward to gardening but hopefully finding a new job quickly so my emergency fund doesn't get decimated
