Sometimes I feel like I am in the twilight zone at work...

I don't know if anything is wrong with me, but sometimes, I feel I am in the twilight zone at work. It's a weird feeling. I have been here for 7 months and have not had a great experience thus far. I have not been treated well, and I know layoffs are coming. Also, restructuring will happen to the team I am on.

I know I shouldn't be venting here, but I just feel I have to let it out and do not have the outlet to do so anywhere else.

Thanks for reading.

I think this is the perfect place to vent! Can do it anonymously and it is a good outlet. I hope that the coming days/weeks/months go better for you at work.

Since layoffs are coming and a reorganization in your department is imminent and you have not had a great experience and have not been treated well in your 7 months in your position, can you tell me why you're hanging on?
I'm glad you have a platform to vent but what you really need to have is a plan to get out of this situation.

Sometimes you just need to vent.
Given the situation - job you don't enjoy and expected layoffs - I agree with one of the other responses... it's time to start hunting for your next position. You have a good excuse for when people ask why you're looking. Layoffs are expected, and you're junior on the team. In several ways it's better to search when you're employed.
Good luck!

If you are concerned about layoffs, then definitely you should start looking for job while you have one. As for you not being treated well, i will have to ask how they treat each other. it may give you some insight. sometimes the overall culture of some organization is just not friendly and zero effort from management or even bother to take notice

Always go with your gut instincts. If you do not feel comfortable and you are sure there are going to be layoffs, then start looking for a new job. Best of luck. Feel free to vent here if you wish, we are all here to support one another.

Vent away. We are here for you. Work on a plan to get out on your own terms as soon as you can.
