So I have been with this place for over 2 years…good review from last year with a decent pay bump.

My company recently laid off a bunch people back in June..and because of what I do, HR shared a master list the other day and I accidentally found out I was “targeted” to be laid off although in the end there was a notation of “not considered”. I suspected it had to do with my boss’s departure. And the issue could be my pay, I am basically making at least $20K more than my peer (granted I have more experience, but they probably feel I am a bit too pricey to keep)

I never really like the company’s culture and was about to try to find something at my own pace and thought maybe I could try at least hit my 3rd year anniversary before I leave…but apparently with this news, it has changed my perception because I now know they pointed the gun at me once. I even felt really strange now going to the office.

Friends said it can also be seen a compliment on me because they realized at that time I am too valuable to be let go…But I am just not so sure about that…

What would everyone think?

PS: I do have some interviews liking up that I initially did for fun, but time to take this seriously now…
