I hate layoffs so much.
Last week the company I work for went through its third round of layoffs since March. I wasn't affected but I'm constantly worried about when the hammer's going to drop, and so are all my coworkers. Four people I worked closely with are gone, and the office is so different without them. When my managers told us about the layoffs last week, they told us that no one in our department was affected, but yesterday another lady in my department was laid off upon returning from vacation. And I understand why they couldn't tell us last week, but I'm just tired of being lied to. At our company wide meeting yesterday the executive team swore up and down that there will not be any more downsizing this year, but nobody believes that. FI keeps telling me I need to jump ship but most of the other agencies in the city are doing layoffs, too, so it feels pretty hopeless.
Okay, I'm done venting now.
