I don't really like having "friends" that I work with per se. But I do enjoy being able to have a good, friendly working relationship with them. It's my way of making the work environment less harsh. Plus it's easier to get advice, and then if a project requires cross-team collaboration then I know who's who. Right now in particular the project I've been working on requires lots of asks for different teams, and since I don't know anyone it makes it more difficult to interface with them. But yeah, things are going to be the same at pretty much any company around here for the next year with the exception of maybe tiny startups, but I'm not interested in working at those.

I probably wouldn't make any drastic changes until the 1 year mark (February). I stayed at my last job long enough, despite issues. So I'm definitely capable of enduring over time. Though I also don't want to overstay (should've left by the third boss in 2 years, not the fifth in 3 years), which I did at the previous job too. I think I'm just having a harder time because I live on my own and since nobody is chatty at work it means I go 8+ hours with little to no socialization outside of meetings. So it's taking an unusual toll since I became a lot more extroverted at my old job.

Hopefully you have enough funds to carry you through the holidays. With a new budget year coming up for most companies, the COVID vaccine getting closer, the political situation settling down, hopefully, new opportunities will open up for you within a few months. |

Here is what Johnny Cash said about that situation, when he sang these lyrics in a song he sung at San Quentin: "Put the screws on me and I'm gonna screw right out from under ya. Tired of all that ****." |

Laid off does not always mean for ever.

We have the same with people that have worked together for 30 years right now so I don't think it is just you guys new to the jobs! It is a difficult time for anybody that has their work and/or personal lives all messed up from lack of contact.

Yeah, this is why I doubt the grass would be any greener elsewhere. There are definitely other issues with my team, though. But with things as they are it'd be super difficult to determine if moving would be an improvement anyway.
