    All you can do is line ip a job or other stream of income. The market is horrible but you may get lucky.

    I'm sorry. Prepare for the worst.

    Save money and shift some of your behaviors.

    Print off / access Employee handbook/policies/ benefits and make sure you use all of them.

    Start quiet quitting, do less at work, document everything, save everything you may need from work. Use every lunch hour, down time, PTO/ sick day and prep. Don't gossip. Just hustle. Update your resume and profiles, get folks to write recommendations. Start talking to folks.

    There are some great online resources about what to do from lay offs- from before it happens to as it happens, at the job site, job hunting, mental health, networking, etc.

    And remember to breathe.
