I was just laid off. My new job is better and the break was amazing. 6 years ago my spouse was laid off. And by penny pinching she was able to network while on unemployment and navigate a career change. Her new job is way better.

Btw, I use copilot every day. It makes me more productive. Someday I may only use copilot or maybe I'll do something else.

Nothing is permanent. Speak to those who have been laid off, and make sure you can take care of yourself if it happens, but then stop worrying. You'll suffer more in imagination than reality.
