person A: My current employer has financial difficulties. It has layoff 25% of the employees. I started to look for another job. I am expecting to be part of the next layoff.
person B: Ouch_comma_ that really sucks. What kind of industry do you work in? 
person A: I am working in IT but the job market is not good now. It is better to anticipate.
person B: Ah_comma_ I can see why that would be stressful/upsetting. Well_comma_ it is good to plan ahead_comma_ but don't stress about it too much until you know for certain you are part of that 25%_comma_ the odds are still in your favour.
