Ok my dudes, my company just had a massive layoff and I’m one of the (lucky?) ones who survived it. I’m not sure what I’ve survived for, exactly, but I still have a job. I can’t help but feel massively saddened by it all. I don’t define myself by work (I practice what I preach with “Work to live, not live to work) but still it feels like a sucking chest wound in my day to day.
Have you been through it? What helped?
EDIT: A bit more context. My company’s been bought by another company. New company gutted a large chunk of mine.
