Well, today my co-worker/friend comes over to me and goes "did anyone tell you what gonna be happening?" It turns out that my whole department is reorganizing. I don't know if I will still have a job. I report to seven VP's in my department, and now they will all be moved to different departments. 3 of them are going to one dept, 2 are going to another and the other two are staying. This is bad for me, because I'm a secretary and support all SEVEN of them. I always figured my job was safe because I supported so many people, but now that they're all being scattered to different departments, I'm worried that my job may not be needed anymore. I mean of course they need a secretary for SEVEN people, but for two guys they might just drop the job to save money in the budget. I'm doing a great job here and I just had a good review, but I'm worried. I don't want to get downsized, considering how bad the job market is now. I've only had my apartment for 6 months, and I use every last cent I make to pay for rent, food and bills, and I'm pretty sure if I got downsized, I wouldn't be able to get this salary anywhere else. Everyone who knows me well knows that I'm always terrified of losing my job, even before this. I have anxiety problems, and they are getting worse and worse, and the paranoia is getting really bad. I don't know if I should ask my boss what is going on, or wait for a formal announcement. If this would just affect me, I wouldn't worry so much, but my sister lives with me and I pay her rent and utilities and my little brother needs clothes for school and my father just doesn't make enough money to get by, so I've always helped them too, I just needed to vent, its hard for me to get things out, but my mental state is really worsening by the day and the meds just aren't helping anymore. I hope everything works out and I still have a job or I'll be fucked.

Thanks for listening, any advice appreciated.

Oh man Missy ... I am so sorry to hear about your job situation! :-(

I hope you don't lose your job, and God forbid you do ... I hope you find one soon! Good Luck!

Start posting your resume at all those job sites like monster.com, careerbuilder.com, etc. Hope that helps! ;-)

AMB - Don't panic at least until you know that you won't be retained. Hopefully you will be. Until you know, there's nothing to be gained by worrying.

On the other hand, the job market is tough nowand it can't hurt to get your resume out there.

Best of luck in this and all else.
