So my employer might be laying us off and we’re on the news.

Two weeks ago my employer gave us a WARN notice due to a possible layoff. The company might be closing unless there's a buyer. We're everywhere on local social media.

It's weird to have this kind of attention and especially for something so sad. It's almost depressing to have to show to work and to still be working on upcoming projects.

Some days I am fine, but other days I end up crying in front of my coworkers. It just feels like I am in the Twilight zone.
