I got the axe on November 1st.
Was fortunate that afternoon I was given an offer at 23% higher than what I was making.
I do feel for those who don't have something else to go to.
I was feeling similar, wondering where my normal will to work had gone. Was it the company, my team, was i just not enjoying the work or career anymore. The more i focused on it, the more I found that I was not taking care of myself anymore to the level I had. I was instead spending a lot of time on escapist activities in my free time. I had attributed that to my lack of happiness at work. However, it is just a circle, feeding off itself. So I decided rather than try to improve my work life, I would spend the energy I had left on me and caring for myself. After doing this for just a couple weeks I am seeing my old self emerge and with it my actual happiness which translates into happiness in all areas of my life. Not sure if this applies to you or not but it was a tremendous help to me.
