Just had a meeting where they're cutting our team in half. No idea if my job is safe. Can't focus on work, can't focus on the kids. Just stressed about everything. Financially we're okay for a few months but the uncertainty is killing me. Anyone else dealing with job stuff right now? How do you keep it together?
Man, that's a brutal situation. When I had uncertainty at work a few years back, I found that getting the kids out of the house for a road trip really helped clear my head. Even just a day trip somewhere new. Hang in there.
That's rough, sorry you're dealing with that stress. Board game night has been my escape when work gets messy - gives your brain permission to shut off for a couple hours. Might help you refocus a bit.
That's the worst feeling. My advice is to start quietly networking right now even if nothing happens. At least you'll feel like you have some control over the situation instead of just waiting.
Man that's rough. I've been there with the uncertainty and it's brutal trying to fake it for the kids while your stomach's in knots. Do you know when they'll announce who's staying and who's going?

Sending good thoughts your way. This kind of stress bleeds into everything. Make sure you're taking care of yourself somehow or you'll burn out completely.
