#lookingtoleave

I'm a middle aged employee, having some financial commitments, was a high performer, have been given 4 last year. The work I am doing I'm not needed for it. Told multiple times,build another resource who may replace but I believe they are keeping me as scapegoat that any wave comes it's going to be me..I am trying outside but not getting anything suitable..still trying..but I want to understand from you all what you would have done if in my place. Everyday going to workplace is stressful and core irritating. I know everyone around me knows my rating and understand that I am the next scapegoat still I need to do my job quietly this fact is eating me. I can't stop working as my micromanager ask status everyday .. I am tired not working but mentally

I'm at the point where a pay cut sounds very much worth it if it means leaving this toxic place. I can't take much more of this culture.

If you're still at Gainwell, you should be actively looking elsewhere. This place offers nothing but uncertainty and shrinking benefits. I'm honestly shocked more people haven't left by now. I'm working on my exit and can't wait to be done with this place.

I'm telling you, this job is harmful. You need to plan your exit. Dedicate some time to networking and applying elsewhere. Otherwise, this place will ruin your mental and physical health.

I calculate my savings every single week just to see if I can afford to quit. The daily stress and negativity have long stopped being worth the salary. It's gotten so bad that I've been considering some very risky financial choices just for my peace of mind. And to think I used to love my job and recommend Cisco to anybody and everybody as a great workplace.

Buh bye. Who's next?

I doubt there will be any major layoffs in 2026. They want to look good with the old CEO is leaving and the new joining. There are still remote employees around that did not let go. Some they did, wonder their justification?

Your salary is past the mid point. Just another FU from this sh-t a$$ company. Can’t wait to leave

Have another job opportunity elsewhere, just like several of you folks our team is pretty understaffed, and it would be almost impossible to do a knowledge transfer session during my last two weeks. I assume I may get a counter offer, and if the salary is high enough, I’d be okay with staying. Although I’d be concerned that I’d be targeted for the next layoff…. Anyone been in a similar position or any advice?

Please! Release me from my misery!! I've been trying to leave on my own but no luck so far. Give me my safety net and kick me out, I'll thank you on my way out.

I like my actual work, but the company's direction is undeniably bad. I think it's time to accept that Target is failing and seriously start looking for a new job before it's too late.

I escaped recently and everything - and I mean everything - is better. Not every company micromanages its employees or has a toxic environment. It might not be easy to get a job these days but if you keep trying, it's 100% worth it in the end. I'm a new man.

Now everyone is looking to leave. People are openly talking about their job searches at work. The atmosphere is totally different, like nobody believes in staying here anymore, and for a good reason. Its the worst Ive seen it.

I quit a while back and everything improved. Waiting around for Wells Fargo to start treating its employees better is a lost cause. Start looking for something new now.

Being let go didn't personally affect me at all. I've gotten used to losing jobs. It's happened several times over my career, and by now I don't see it as anything reflecting on me. But I've never been more worried about finding another job. It doesn't look good out there, and my husband's job is in peril too. I can't recall when things have felt this bad from every direction. Wish us luck and the optimism to keep us afloat.

I've been at NetApp for 3 years and recently I've been thinking that it just doesn't feel like it's a good place to be anymore. The UK management only look out for themselves. I've had no promotion or rises in the last 3 years. Do you guys think that now is a good time to look elsewhere ?

I had to vent I am finished.

Over the past several years, it’s become clear that my team has been operating under the wrong organizational structure. As a result, many of the processes we support have been sustained only through workarounds created by clinics and patients themselves. It’s difficult to see this department remaining viable in the long term if things continue in their current direction.

Leadership has played a significant role in the decline of the team. The current manager has not provided meaningful support or advocacy, and decisions often feel disconnected from the needs of the staff. The supervisory team seems more focused on protecting leadership than addressing ongoing issues, which has created a sense of frustration and confusion.

I genuinely miss my previous supervisor, who provided positivity and encouragement her departure highlighted just how stressful the environment has become. Since then, the culture has shifted dramatically, and the workplace has grown increasingly difficult to navigate. After more than seven years here, I’m actively searching for a new opportunity. The environment has become too toxic to remain in, especially after recent leadership changes. I wish the best to anyone else who is also looking for a fresh start.

It wasn’t all bad, and I won’t pretend it was. The early days had their moments, but those have been few and far between for a long time now, which makes this easier to accept than I ever thought it would be. I wish the job market was stronger, but I’ll figure things out eventually. Wishing real luck to everyone staying, because it feels like you’ll need every bit of it.

Seeking guidance from folks who quit and moved on to other opportunities. I assume you must have done some financial due diligence on your monthly expenses, found something that meets or tops it. However what other housekeeping activities did you do, in order to not look back at T or scavenging for info from T’s internal websites.

I want to stay one more year but I don’t think I can do it. I can’t stand this place anymore where it’s ki-ling my soul slowly.

I'm not even going to bother to wait. There might not be many, but there are available remote jobs in my field and I plan to apply to every single one of them. I'm not staying around for this cr-p.

Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, Dillards, Von maur, anything will be better than this disaster, get out now!!!!

Dust off that resume and run for the door, this is not going to be pretty.

If you're so unhappy with how things are being done, what's keeping you here?

The more you look, the more obvious it becomes that the only people who are still here are the ones who have not landed something else yet. Yet being the key word, since everybody seems to be looking. All those with options seem to be moving on fast.

I've decided to accept another offer, even though the pay is a bit less for now (10%). Staying here just waiting for a potential severance package is costing me my peace of mind. I need to work somewhere with better structure and respect. My self-respect is worth more than a future payout.

Knew it was coming

Everyone is looking for new jobs. Seems as though they are pushing people to do so instead of laying off. Worst management of any company in the USA

Has anyone found a job yet after being laid off (doing similar type of work)?

I’m willing to take almost any other job, even one that pays less, just to be able to leave this place. Five years here have felt like ten anywhere else.

I just got laid off now. It’s fcking start of the year.

Leave Nike. That's it. That's the only goal I'm setting for myself.

Let's hope the next one brings some positive changes, even if it means finding a new job somewhere else. Actually, now that I think about it, that's the only thing that will bring positive changes. So good luck in finding something new, everybody!

To say I'm unhappy with how things turned out would be an understatement. I've been looking for the past few months and a few leads are looking promising. I'm worried though about leaving this soon looking bad on a resume. Is it better to switch now than stick around for a while for the future?

It’s funny how uncertainty flips a switch. Suddenly my resume’s polished, alerts are on, and I’m paying attention again, looking for any opportunity to leave. Not exactly the motivation I wanted, but I’ll take it.

This is by far the worst of all the jobs I held. A total nightmare. Two years here were two too many.

The odds of finding another job anytime soon are very low. Rationally, I should want to hold on to this one, no matter how bad it is. But the toxicity and manipulation, being overworked and underappreciated, the constant exhaustion, and having so little ability to make decisions that actually benefit clients have pushed rational thinking out of the picture. I just can’t keep doing this job if I want to be even remotely good to myself.

Getting laid off made me realize how much time I poured into SAP, and now it feels like there’s nothing tangible to show for those years. Losing the job hurt, but losing momentum and watching skills stall or fade has been even worse, and every new ghosting after an interview just chips away a little more at whatever confidence I have left. It’s not fun on the outside.
