It surprises me every time I see someone write that they feel helpless here because of the uncertainty. There is no reason at all to feel stuck in this company. There will always be layoffs, as there will always be other options as well. So why would anyone feel helpless here?
A colleague who thought he had no chance of getting a better offer got a new job in two or three months where he gets paid almost 30 percent more. Stress? There is no reason for so much stress.
