With nonstop stress from layoffs and constant overwork, I’ve been making more mistakes than I ever used to. I know I’m not alone in this. So far, my mistakes have been minor, but it’s hard not to wonder what happens when enough of us start slipping on things that should be straightforward. At what point do small errors turn into major ones?

Stop Caring. Just show up. If they layoff your entire department, it does not matter if you worked 20 hours or 120 hours the last pay period.
@b2 I don't understand why you are a troll.
@OP I don’t understand why you are posting this. It’s called life- figure out how to adapt and survive. Enough of the belly aching!
Everything is moving 100x leadership is desperate to turn the ship despite it being a titanic deck chair shuffle. (Few will admit this because SH is the boss and runs the BOD)
Here's how every "strategic" move is made:
ELT/c-suite sees a tweet or an AI-slop Linkedin "influencer" post, gets a shiny idea, asks overworked underlings struggling to wrap up research from the last bad idea for a quick swag.
Napkin numbers come out to $50m+ for a project with "20% margin" without any meaninful analysis and then we run at it with millions invested. 2026 is not going to be pretty when these things fail.
