For many days morale at work was at rock bottom. There were the classic symptoms of grief (denial, anger, why-me) and now people are over it. Why? Partly because we are only talking about jobs. (Obviously it's no joke, especially for those with kids and mortgages; however it is nothing like losing a loved one.) Partly because we have talked it to death.
Now there's a new topic: how is the search for a replacement job going? It's heartening when someone gets a phone interview or, as has happened, a real-life, face-to-face interview. It's much more fun to speculate about those and fortunately the lucky people have been generous to share their experiences.
Everybody is having to set expectations, meaning that we cannot expect to get our dream job while things are the way they are. We are probably all going to have to compromise to some extent. On the other hand, there is something exciting about starting afresh, leaving all the old work behind. It's easy to think of the things you won't miss.
In my own case, I've had word that there may be a job for me with my current employer in Ireland. This is just a rumour; I still don't know what is going to happen.
