In case you were somehow under the impression that every last dispiriting ramification of the recession had been investigated, analyzed, and pontificated about already, Time would like to draw your attention to the ubiquitous but unsung phenomenon of post-layoff survivor's guilt. That's right, if you've clung on to your job, the fact that co-workers have lost theirs means that far from being relieved, you should be depressed: "[D]ealing with guilt that it wasn't you, anxiety that you might be next, exhaustion from the extra work you must take on and even envy of those who get to leave such a sullen environment—that's not much cause for celebration." Add this to the enhanced possibility of getting murdered at your desk and the likelihood that the office is ruining your health, and it's probably best to just give up and go and sell shell necklaces for pocket change on a distant island.
