my job laid off some people recently. i’m not sure how many company wide but we lost two people in our department around (35-40 people). my company said as of right now they don’t have any more plans of laying anyone else off but it sounded more like a “we don’t have plans as of right now but maybe later”. I am beyond scared I could be next. I knew the economy was getting rough but I hoped for the best with my company. 

it really sucks because I REALLY like this job. I really do. I am younger and I can see myself retiring (if that’s even possible anymore) with this company. My boss and everything is great. I am just..beyond scared. I have some big life plans soon and losing my job would really suck. This coming recession is frightening. In 08 my family suffered reallly bad and I am scared for myself now. My anxiety is so bad its all I can think about. I feel like I am cursing myself just writing this but I need to let it out.
