I am under enormous pressure and I am already in a panic, what if I lose my job. All this makes me paranoid that I will be a target. Do you think that there are some clear indications that someone will be laid off? I'm looking for a new job, but still...

We’ve lost teammates due to heart attacks from the stress, absolutely not worth it! There will be some level of stress in most any jobs, but the BS management tries to shove down people’s throats is 🤢.
I’ve been to a couple of funerals for these co workers and guess what, not a single member of management was in attendance! These folks had 20 plus years with the company and management could a rats a$& about them!
Take care of yourself, get out now!!!!
Take the advice from the poster who had triple bypass!! This company is not worth it!! I was so stressed and I spoke up about somethings that were occurring and had occurred during my time at mondelez. Management doesn’t like this and they made that clear, well guess what I wasn’t afraid of them, just stressed from the constant retaliation!! Do yourself a huge favor, get a new job!!! Mondelez is NOT worth the stress! Even if you have to start out making less (and I doubt you will), your health and happiness is worth it!! Management sucks!!!
Yeah I have some indicators.
Do you do your job well? Bye.
Are you a man? Cya.
Are you white? Uh oh
Do you refuse to kiss bu-t? Start looking
You really need to pause and take a look at what you're doing to yourself. I've been in IT for a very long time and I have watched people destroy themselves without even realizing it. I lost many friends and people I greatly respected due to stress and the impact it had upon their health - some died at work or at home and were found by their coworkers or families. I swore I'd never be one of those who let the stresses of the job get to me, but guess what - I did it myself. Last September , at 60 years old, I was told I had a 50/50 chance of dying within 2 weeks if I did not have a triple-bypass. Not only was that a shock to me it was a shock to my doctors as I had no symptoms beyond a little bit of pain when I walked up an incline. All prior physicals and tests determined I was a healthy male.
My caution and concern to you all is this: The short of it is that stress ki-ls and we are all part of the statistics we read about and assume we're immune and everyone else is at risk but not us. Stressing and constantly worrying about the job and all of the insanity that comes along with it wherever you work is a recipe for disaster. I read these posts from people who claim that so-and-so doesn't care about 'us' or this-n-that and they are probably correct. Chances are those people will live a lot longer in better health because they have accepted that carrying & stressing too much can ki-l. I've seen it and have experienced it myself. There's some health conditions that you must pay attention to and do everything in your power to avoid regardless of the job & paycheck. I wasted years overachieving on the job and as a result I've cut many years off of my future. All for nothing when you look at it from this side of the fence.
You are already doing the best you can, looking for a new job. Just assume you are being let go. Worst case scenario, you keep your job here but now have an option to work for a better company. Best case scenario, you are the one getting laid off and have a better job lined up that treats and appreciates you more than this place.
