As someone who was laid off in 2015, I can tell you that yes, getting laid off is scary. However, I can also tell you that you'll be so relieved when you're on the other side of it. I ended up with a better job than I had at WFM. And I'm not constantly worrying about whether I'll have a job or not. At WFM, I felt my position was on the line for two years before it was eliminated. I'm sure most people working there now have felt insecure in their job for awhile now. Trust me, you're better off being one of the ones laid off than being one of the ones spared. Life gets better after WFM.
