My boss just gave their notice (3rd boss in 2 months) and told me to get a new job based on “mud within the executive level” of the organization (~5 years, 2 rebrands, etc). I’ve been there for 18 months. Looking at the recession expected to hit Canada in early 2023, I feel stuck; hiring is slow everywhere but jumping ship now means I’ll be the “last in the door” at most places. How would you navigate this? The decision will be made either way, but ideally I could move into something better.

You can start the search now or wait to be laid off. At my last job 90% of the org quit and when I left, the shut the office down and laid off rest of the team.

As managers cycle in and out they expectations of you will be different. You will become a source of knowledge and experience. I’d stay put and watch the show.

I wouldn’t listen to my boss who is stepping out the door. I’d look at things as a whole.

I actually think where there is chaos there is opportunity. Fundamentally you need to decide if you like your job and it provides the intellectual, spiritual and financial rewards you want. If it does…why look elsewhere. If it is missing something then I’d back myself to find an organisation that can provide it, and I’d back myself to make a contribution such that they wouldn’t let me go even in a recession.

2/3 staff losses were my boss (they didn’t leave because of me haha). I’m not super happy in my position or with team culture, so unless I can find an opportunity that makes it worth it, seems like all signs are pointing to leaving.
