The marketing agency I work for had a very quiet round of layoff about 2 weeks ago. I was spared, but I think only temporarily in order to get my supervisor up to speed on a number of accounts. I keep finding systems I no longer have access to, privileges revoked etc. I’ve started to apply for other positions, but in the meantime I’m stuck with a crazy workload left from lost colleagues and difficulties with systems I no longer have access to. Should I just ask my supervisor directly and see if I can speed up the process? It’s way more cruel to string me along in this miserable situation.

I would be very reluctant to ask you supervisor that question. What are the chances of you receiving the truth? She/he may not even know all what's entailed. Start looking outside of the company ASAP. Best of luck and I'm terribly sorry you're going through this.

Consider quiet quitting. Step up your job search.
