Amid an alarming surge in job cuts across the United States in 2025, a new wave of layoff anxiety is sweeping through the workforce, driving Americans to work harder but ultimately burning out faster, experts warn. A recent CNBC report highlights the unprecedented level of job insecurity: nearly 700,000 layoffs were reported in the first five months of the year—an 80% spike compared to the same period in 2024—leaving 46% of workers worried about their future employment and exposing stark psychological tolls (CNBC).

A common frustration for busy professionals: rereading an email before sending it, sometimes multiple times. A June 2025 analysis highlighted by VegOut Magazine reveals eight personality traits that influence this habit. For Thai workers in service, finance, education, and public communication, understanding these traits can boost productivity, workplace harmony, and well-being.

Rereading emails is often pegged as perfectionism, but psychology suggests a richer picture. Interviews with communication experts and researchers point to a blend of traits shaping this behavior. The eight traits are high personal standards, conscientiousness, empathy, social anxiety, respect for others’ time, a sense of professionalism, risk aversion, and deliberate self-reflection. When managed well, these tendencies can become valuable strengths rather than hindrances.

Anyone who has hesitated over the “Send” button and found themselves rereading an email for the fourth, or even the fourteenth time, is far from alone. Recent psychological analysis, as reported in a June 2025 article by VegOut Magazine, shines a revealing light on this common digital-age phenomenon. For Thai professionals in burgeoning service and communication-driven sectors, understanding the deeper personality traits behind this habit holds special relevance for personal productivity, workplace harmony, and well-being.
