I used to love coming into work, surrounded by colleagues I got on well with. The biggest shift for me was noticing how different I felt outside of work compared to when I logged on. Even though I still had people around me, I found the environment drained me, whereas out of work gave me my energy back. Have you ever realised a workplace was affecting you more than you thought, regardless of the relationships you may have there?

That sounds pretty familiar to me. What happened with me is that things went downhill, but gradually enough that I wasn't really aware of it day to day. It's like the old story about the frog in the slowly heating pot of water, you can be getting cooked without realizing it. It slowly dawned on me that issues at work really were affecting me more than I realized.

This is a great analogy! 100% took me way longer to realise the affect on me

I have to commute 3 hours two way by car though

Maybe you need a new job closer

That is how I felt at my last company. I loved the work I was doing and my coworkers, but the environment was draining me. I had to leave and find a new job.

Me too! Still get to see some of my old coworkers luckily

Reorgs are just a part of the corporate world. If you haven’t been a part of one in your career yet, then you most likely haven’t been in the corporate workforce for very long. If you have been a part of a reorg, however, how do you personally approach it? There are many factors at play, but in general do you try to establish relationships with the individuals you know will be key contributors and/or decision makers going forward? Or do you lay low and let what ever happens be/hope for the best?
