Do I even try anymore

Second year analyst at a BB that was recently told I won’t be promoted after my two year track ends. Facing low morale and embarrassment. We have an in office policy. I need to start figuring out my plans and options and can’t really do so in office. Do I even try anymore/show up? Just in need of any advice or if anyone is in a similar boat.
