My productivity has been severely impacted, actually, without even going into the mental health / stress / morale effects. I've seen two rounds of layoffs at my current employer and today I am utterly and completely fucking swamped in work. New initiatives showing up in January, directly from corporate sponsors at the SVP and executive level, despite the Great Big Fucking Deal they made about us getting our 2024 "roadmap" to them in November of 2023. Bullshit jobs or not, I'm not sure why I'm expected to have to pick up the slack and do more work at the same time.
- gaws 3y agoTime to look for a new job.
- scruple 3y agoYou're not wrong but the tech job market is a dumpster fire right now, too, and, on top of that, I've got 3 young kids (twins are 4, singleton is 2) and a partially disabled spouse. I make good money and have amazing benefits, some of the best in the entire tech industry. And I've been through shitty situations like this before, so I'm hanging on for now... At least until my personal life chills out a bit.
