I'm really discouraged with work right now. My supervisor, who I normally like and work well with, has second guessed me a couple time recently. Not "let's talk through how you got that answer" but rather "ask someone else to look at that." One I did everything right, and he refuses to talk about why people were upset (when they initially thought I'd screwed up). Coincidentally, work put on a short presentation about how we use social media in the business. One was how human resources uses LinkedIn and Twitter to interact with candidates. So I followed a couple companies I like on LinkedIn. While I'm not quite ready to apply, I might as well stay in touch. It also might help show I'm interested in them as a company and not just a paycheck.
That would make sense, and I'll keep in mind the pressure management is seeing. It doesn't make it easier, but it might at least explain it. I'm torn on the idea of hunkering down. On the one hand, stability is good in a recession. On the other, is it good to get out of a situation that feels like it's spiraling before it gets bad? I don't know.
