Does this seem toxic or am I overreacting?
Hey RFD,
My workplace since May has gone into a bit of a tailspin. Revenues in 2019 were the best we've had in our history as a company, we were firing on all cylinders in every industry we operate in. Since May however, our revenues started to decline quite rapidly in one sector (as it relied on travel), and the other started to decline slowly with Q4 year over year appearing to be down from last year at this point (which was propped up because of the election).
Over the past couple weeks I've noticed a lot of work starting to get outsourced from mine and my colleagues teams, even though this is the same team that got us to our success last year. The outsourced workers so far have not done anything majorly different, but the responsibility of owning the performance still falls in our (my colleagues and mine's) hands. Now they've resorted to requesting daily reports on productivity, reviewing calendars for what people are doing, reporting what you're doing with all your "free time" (which by the way I've seen everyone on chats signing off around 9-10pm for months now), and end meetings and conversations by saying "I'm just trying to keep us all employed".
I had some career progression plans at this company but I'm starting to feel the burn out and am wondering if I'm just over thinking what's going on here and unfortunately just need to push through this to perform for the business, or does this sound like a place I should get out of quickly?
What are your thoughts?
