Can't sleep because I may be laid off tomorrow, it just hit me 😪

My company is doing mass layoffs, and my dept signed a 2 or 3 year contract with the state. I also read that this 3rd round of layoffs was supposed to be for a different office.

But then I started putting a few things together:

- Reddit reports that some are being laid off ON their talent discussion day.
- My talent discussion day is Wednesday.
- My 1x1 with my supervisor is on that day as well.
- The day she told us a big spreadsheet is due: You guessed it, Wednesday.
- However, my coworker and I were both added to a mysterious group chat that was called "State of ____".
- Multiple people in the chat started asking why they were added to it, and no one answered. Two people said they were "on the bench" waiting for a job opening, and if there was a job oppprtunity, to please allow them to interview. No response.
- A different person, seeing this, created another group chat to the creators of the chat, telling them that he IMPLORES them to get the guest list right, and to check with HR who should be in the chat before adding them.
- My coworker did some research and found that the creator of the chat is in HR and that mass layoffs are due on the 8th.
- A prominent supervisor, who has been with the company 10 odd years and who knows someone ranked like THIRD in this global company..who managed an entire department once..who came back to the call center to help out and was given a massive team of 50..who bent over BACKWARDS for management..was just let go yesterday, as well as two really good agents.
- Pride comes before a fall, and I just made that post about being done paying off my house in "5 years max".
- Last piece of evidence: It is the holidays..of COURSE my corporation would lay us off right before Christmas and when we have mortgages and families and inflation and tons of bills and no degree.

I just got a call on my work phone from an external number. That NEVER happens. When I googled the number, a "management consulting manager" with my company came up. I am still on a different Teams call, so I messaged this woman. No response. She is now in busy status and my boss is in presenting status. They appear to be on a call together :(
@foldedunfolding Thinking good thoughts for you.

@Sojournersoul @Ducky spoke to my boss and she said that I am not being rolled off, and it was a system error. A friend and old supervisor of mine said he is notified of firings and lay-offs, and DID see thr names of those fired this week, but has not seen my name. She also spent about 30 minutes of our morning meeting lauding us and how excited she is for our impending recoveries. So hopefully tmrw I am told the same thing!! Also, I am about to post something super exciting in my next post..keep a lookout. Love yall and thank you.
