    Feeling Planning Thinking

    I'm feeling anxious about a meeting I have scheduled tomorrow at my company, where I've been working in a tech role focused on AI implementation. The invite is titled "state of the team," and it's making me worry that layoffs might be on the horizon. I've noticed that as AI becomes more integrated into our processes, there have been discussions about restructuring and efficiency, which usually leads to job cuts. Some colleagues suggested that if a lot of people are invited, it could mean updates on layoffs, while a smaller invite list might indicate individual layoffs. Either way, I’m starting to think it might be wise to update my resume and begin applying for new positions, just in case. The uncertainty is really weighing on me.

    Miscellaneous

    I work in a government organization and have been here for two years. Lately, I've been feeling anxious about potential layoffs. Recently, two colleagues in my department left and weren't replaced, with management citing hiring difficulties and budget constraints. In an adjacent department, five people were let go over the past year, including a key role that won't be backfilled due to significant budget cuts. Our department was also asked to reduce our budget for next year, and we've lost perks like snacks and travel for everyone has been canceled. All these signs have me worried that layoffs might be on the horizon. I'm considering updating my resume and preparing for the worst.
