Having a ton of trouble focusing on work. We announced layoffs and the anxiety of knowing if I'm on the list is getting to me (my work productivity has plummeted). We have about a month before we find out and about a month after.
I have on-site with Microsoft scheduled in 2 weeks, Amazon OA and Google Phone screen coming up and every ounce of me wants to Leetcode and prepare every hour of the day (I haven't).
But I know that's a dick move to my co-workers (could care less about the company).
The moral dilemma of working double time to showup for the team vs. being stupid and not focusing on preparing.
I'm leaning towards just hitting minimal responsibility and start grinding.
Anyone been in a similar situation?
EDIT: These people may be my recommenders. I've done good work for the 2.5 years I've been on the team. I'll find a balance to not leave a sour taste in anyone's mouth

I looked for a job in the heat of the Great Recession and found one within weeks of being laid off. I had to take a job I didn’t like for 1.5 years but it paid the bills and I later got a job I liked much better.
Focus on what you can control and not what you cannot.
Thank you.
