Layoffs may not be mounting, but it’s getting harder to find a job in a labor market where hiring is “anemic” as tariff-driven economic uncertainty has put a chill on some employers.
What a time for me to realize that my position in my job is no longer stable. I asked for a raise in return for getting certs they want me to have off the clock and suddenly my bosses aren’t cool anymore. Place got real shitty real fast when I was like, “Hey, I’ll do this shit you want off the clock if you pay me more during work hours”
They literally laughed in my face and now tensions are high between management and the employees that aren’t happy here. I’m going on medical leave for 4 weeks starting next Thursday and I’m terrified they’ll realize they can manage without me in that time and fire me for some bullshit when I come back

This is the time to start looking around elsewhere. Never wait for them.
