I don't want to assume too much, but may I ask how well set up your safety net is in case you get fired? I'd assume that hedge fund managers are pretty well set up, and they don't have to be too concerned about losing their jobs.
Is it really too surprising people with a less cozy backup fund are anxious when the person next to them lost their livelihood in an instant, especially in this macroeconomic environment where getting hired again is far from certain?
I'm just saying, if losing your job hits the "safety" level of your pyramid of needs, is the looming threat really so unreasonable to be anxious about?
- xyzelement 4y agoGood clarification. In all cases the people I worked with were highly paid tech workers facing a great job market. The objective reality was "you'll be fine and you'll find a job quickly" The amount of anxiety was not proportional to these facts.
