Layoffs happening around the office are unnerving. It leaves an uncomfortable feeling for the people left. (thanks)

Yes layoffs certainly do make people feel uncomfortable. And having a boss who treats some people with less respect than others is not very nice either. However, given your recent work history (which I happen to know a little bit about), I think you should stick this job out, at least for a little while. You've said that your boss treats you OK (which is a good thing), so maybe you can mke up for your boss' bad behaviour towards others by being extra nice to those others yourself. Being nice is always character-building, so you will get something out of that. As well, you may learn some things at this job which will help you get better jobs/pay in the future. Finally, by staying, you'll have something that looks good on your resume. (And when you do decide to look for new job, here's a good tip that'll also look good on your resume - don't quit first/jobhunt later, start your job search before you leave and don't resign until you have a written job offer from a new employer. And make sure you give two weeks' notice.) |
