> I enjoy my job a lot

I'll be real with you, I wouldn't make a throwaway account to talk about a bad company policy if I enjoyed my job.

I'd recommend looking for another, the job market is nowhere near as bad as people claim (at least for non-junior positions).

I hear you! And it’s not like I haven’t considered it - thing is I really do enjoy the work I get to do in this agency (which is this tiny pixel in the tapestry of Big Org CO). It’s varied, impactful, and I can morally stand behind a large portion of the projects I’m on.

It’s just that.. we’re owned by Big Brother, they have little involvement in what we do other than this compliance hullabaloo.

But we’re all trying to David the sh*t out of our Goliath - and to some extent we’ve actually been successful.

But really I just wanted to share a story as to why I haven’t restarted my laptop in ages! Happy it lead to some fun conversations though.

The market being bad is exactly the reason to start looking for a new job now. It's probably going to be a long process, so you shouldn't wait to start it before being fired / put on a PIP / etc.
