We’re in a bit of a lull at work currently, which I love as it gives me a lot more free time, but it does make me worry about my job and position. Does anyone else get these worries?

100% it concerns me. I don't get too bent out of shape if it's just a slow week, but when we're anxiously sitting around for our next project for any longer than that, I start to get nervous. Has your company laid anyone off before?

Yeah we’ve gone through layoffs but only 1 round and not many people went. Still not a great sign but yeah I only really start to worry if it’s longer than a week!

Have been slow for a couple of months, and that worries me a lot. Was told that summer wasn’t looking great, just didn’t think it would be this bad either.

Sorry to hear that! It does get worrying but hopefully you’re all okay.

I’ve had lots of ups and downs for the start of this year.

It’s made me learn though that businesses plan for these every year and all the low points are made up when the high points come around. If there’s still business coming in and you know when it’ll get busy next and why, I wouldn’t worry too much. Time to at least see if anything internally could be improved or work on training during downtime!

I once asked a colleague at a radio company how much he's paid monthly, and he outright refused to tell me. In fact, he found it very odd that I asked.

I know it's not an employee's job to fix pay inequity by sharing their salary figures, but I'm still of the opinion that it helps uncover pay gaps. But do you think it's wise to do so at the risk of damaging your work environment or the whole thing backfiring on you? Thoughts are welcome.
