A throwback kind of post: looking for moral support
I remember when the only time I would come to this sub was to ask about step increases, colleague drama, and insurance. Sigh.I’m at a bit of a breaking point and could really use some outside perspective from fellow insiders. On paper, my job is solid. I’ve had strong performance reviews, steady work, and good feedback from clients and colleagues. I genuinely like the work itself and the people I serve. But over the past year, things have shifted in a way that’s been hard to describe without sounding dramatic. There’s been a pattern of what feels like quiet undermining — work being reassigned without explanation, being left out of communications on work I’ve historically handled, and a general lack of transparency about my role going forward. When I try to get clarity, I either get vague answers or none at all. It’s not overt hostility, which almost makes it harder to address, but it’s created a constant feeling of instability and stress. At the same time, I’ve had prior EEO activity (albeit, I didn’t go too far into the process), but I can’t shake the feeling that I’m being handled differently because of it. I don’t have a “smoking gun,” just a lot of small things that add up. I’ve reached a point where I’m seriously considering taking another job — one that would be a pretty significant pay cut — just to get out of this environment. $35 thousand dollars. That feels… insane to type, honestly. I worked hard to get here, and walking away from a stable federal position (especially in this market) is not something I ever imagined doing. I have to give them an answer by the end of tomorrow. But the day-to-day stress, the lack of clarity, and the feeling that my role is being quietly eroded is starting to outweigh the benefits. There are 3 senior colleagues all salivating for my work and I know they want me gone as a weird form of job security. This administration has broken something in people’s brains. For those of you who have been in similar situations:- How did you decide when it was time to leave vs. stick it out?- Is it ever worth taking this big a big pay cut just for a healthier environment?- And am I overreacting to what could just be “normal” internal reorganization? I’m trying to be rational about this, but I’m also just… tired. Any insight would really help.
