If your team is looking to add another analyst to “take on workload” but your own workload has been minimal, is this writing on the wall for you to find exit ops? I’ve been a good performer, but since Covid started, I’ve had barely any work to do - even including the self starting projects I’ve worked on. This is in industry btw. Thx 🐠

Can still happen there. Except it’s more likely that it’ll result in layoff than you finding a new project.

Would be beneficial to bring this up and have them let you know if your new responsibilities—it’s not always a lay-off. Could be they are moving you into a more supervisory role.

Ask your boss(es), and others adjacent to your work. Don't assume anything bad yet. In many companies, bosses get paid based on how many people work for them, so they are incentivized to grow their team regardless of how much work there is. Or maybe there is a big project coming up soon you don't know about, and they are staffing up early instead of waiting until everyone is burned out to hire more people. Maybe some new work requires special skills or a license of some sort. Plenty of possibilities that don't yet mean anything bad for you.

Try to be honest with yourself about whether you’re being perceived as a good performer. Are you sure nothing happened that made you become someone considered to be a poor performer?

Has anyone left healthcare and is now really happy? I’m an MSN, RN with 12 years hospital experience. I’m burned out and tired of making crap pay. I have an opportunity outside of healthcare that would pay more and challenge me in new ways that I haven’t experienced before. It’s a total shift that would really heal my work-life balance, job satisfaction and budget. My only fear is that I would not be using the license and degree that I worked so hard for. I would appreciate any input!!!!
