I've noticed a trend amongst people in my circles with the recent layoffs (those directly impacted, or worried about being impacted)<p>Feelings of fear, uncertainty, doubt, etc are causing people to:<p><pre><code> -Work harder (not necessarily smarter)
-Make changes to their spending
-Get disciplined about their career plans
</code></pre>
I'd say I'm also changing my behavior, my self-talk has certainly changed. I'm curious if other hackers and people working on tech have felt this change in motivation and behavior?<p>Once the initial loss aversion instinct goes away, I'd love to re-calibrate and make a plan that's motivated by goals and opportunity rather than fear of loss. Anyone experienced this line of thinking and made it out the other side better off?
