Rumors are circulating of another layoff. I work through another lunch break, thereby delaying my workout until after work. There is no room to believe the rumors right now. There is no time to ease up. There is much work to be done, and timelines to meet.
The bottom line is not what it once seemed. It more than just pay, it is the wonderful people that I work with, the flexibility to go to appointments as needed, and the luxury of not having to travel. The bottom line is my family. Isn’t funny that the bottom may be pulled out from under me regardless of how tirelessly I work to achieve the set timelines.
Until then…it’s just rumors.

Blech!! I hate that. You are right though. You still have to give it your best.

Those kind of rumors suck the motivation right out of you. I think you’ve got the right attitude, keep your head down and keep moving on the projects. Hang in there!

I hate layoff rumors. I’ve been through so much turmoil in so many companies. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you.

I hope they remain rumors. Your experience is sounding too familiar. Went on vacation and came back to the dreaded pink slip. May you be more fortunate!
