The meeting started, and I could feel my pulse quicken. The CEO was smiling, but it felt forced, unnatural. He began with vague platitudes about "new opportunities," but the words seemed hollow, empty. It was hard to breathe.

I sat there, frozen, the room seemed to spin. I’d spent so many years building a career here, a life. The thought of losing it, of starting over… it terrified me.

I looked around at the other faces in the room, searching for some sign of reassurance, some indication that everything would be alright. But all I saw were expressions of confusion and uncertainty, mirroring my own. The knot in my stomach tightened, and the world seemed to tilt.
