I've been waiting to discover whether or not I'm getting laid off (probably not, my M2 tells me). But anyways, yeah I'm at a big tech company going through rounds of layoffs.
I'm at a good point where I'm wrapping a bunch of stuff up. So I've been trying to make sure I tie up all loose ends and make sure, if the axe lands on my neck, that my colleagues can pick up everything where I left off. After round one, it wasn't the anxiety (I'm in a good spot, companies are hungry to poach from tech companies like mine; I'll land on my feet), it was the lack of will to really work too terribly hard until I knew that I'd be sticking around.
I still don't know. So I'm not working overly hard of late. I have started to see people I know get the axe though, and that has an effect on you. I'm only working hard on wrap-up activities, and turning down new big stuff.
Congrats (Big Company), you played yourself. Want to keep morale up? Don't hire a shit ton of people, and then fire a shit ton of people a few months later.
