D1, quite a few good people are "below average" when considering all metrics and would still be here had the firm been doing well

I would never assume anyone is 100% safe. All sorts of things can happen and they are not always in your control. No need for paranoia but it does not hurt to be prepared.

You're almost always safe if you're doing well. Most people just lack the perception to know when they're doing below average, but not terrible enough for someone to say something.

I think I have work trauma not sure how it’s clouding my ability to make decisions. I’ve had unstable work after being laid off from a company 3 years ago. I thought I worked out a plan to get to a stable place but my job is proving to be unstable yet again. I secured a FT role at another company but because it’s a lot less money I’m unsure because I feel very cynical about companies in general. I assume it’ll be just like all the rest but now I’ll just be making less and could get laid off.

Do you take the current economy into consideration when receiving job offers? For example you receive a good offer from a company like Meta/TikTok but are hesitant because they could be laying off soon or rescind an offer versus a lower offer at a more traditional and stable company that tends to be less reactionary with regards to layoffs? Not my current scenario but just curious. I would like to make a move from current employer but this economy has me spooked.
