They are looking at downsizing or trying to get more out of each developer. Kids mean less focus so they might be trying to phase you out. Not a place you want to stick around because if you got sick, needed timeoff or got old you would be in the same position. Having said that you can follow a few strategies. - You have the work as hard as possible, burn yourself out and get fired and do poorly on interviews because you are stuck on your old position - You can try to embed yourself in a critical role but you probably needed to be already in such a role - You can try to make yourself less visible and avoid thd boss hoping time heals all - You can start preparing for the interview circuit and get a headstart when the ball drops I would advise not involving hr unless you want to sue and start your job search immediately. I would do my best to address issues raised but not go overboard where it affects your homelife/health. The most important thing is staying mentally positive and giving an honest effort goes a longway when you are creating your story for the interview circuit. When you least expect it they will keep you around when you think you have a job for life someone buys the company and lets you go. You never know what may happen, money struggles might push your boss out and create new opportunities. Keep grinding it out.
