I've been working as a project manager in the pharmaceutical industry for the past two years, and I'm starting to feel really uneasy about my current situation. For most of 2026, I've found myself with hardly any work to do. My tasks have mostly revolved around filling out expense reports and assisting with a performance cycle that only took a couple of hours here and there. It seems like many of my colleagues are in a similar position, but nobody openly discusses it, which makes it hard to gauge how common this is. Being 100% remote doesn't help either, as I don’t have close connections with my coworkers. The anxiety of waiting for a potential layoff is constantly looming over me. Friends tell me how lucky I am to have a job with so little work, but honestly, I find it frustrating. I’d much rather be engaged and using my skills than sitting idle and worrying about my job security. With the rise of AI, I can't help but wonder if this situation is becoming more common, especially since tasks that used to take me days can now be done in minutes with AI tools. I’m curious to know if others have experienced something similar. Is this a common occurrence in the industry, or am I just in a particularly stagnant phase? I’ve been laid off before, and I know things can always be worse, but I can't shake this feeling of unease.
