How to help my dog with separation anxiety when I need to leave for work

heya I have a Greyhound x Saluki, Sid, Male

Sid's about 2 years old, he went through 3 homes before me and my husband, he was 8 months old when we got him.

I've been home with Sid for his whole time with us, I try to not pay him lots of attention in the day.

But now I have a new job in a setting where I have to leave the house, so I'm not around Sid. How do I try to help Sid to not loose his mind, he was okay yesterday but today flipped out for 2 hours non-stop when I left and even then he wasn't happy.

He seems completely fine when me and the husband goes out, Sid & our other dog goes to sleep.
So I'm confused why Sid is acting like that – he is clingy to me sometimes though. But my husband's home.

I don't make a fuss when I leave. I just walk out the door but to get out of my house, I have to go through the backdoor and either around to the side gate, which I have to pass our windows where Sid like to look out off or to the end of the path and out the gate (the front doesn't have a fence so its dangerous)
