Jobless in a job!!!

First blog so please pardon if I have got the blog syntaxes wrong! Been four long years in bangalore and suddenly a sense of insecurity regarding my professional career is boomeranging my way. Three months back,I  would leave to office at about 8 in the morning and god knows when i would come back! Now,I leave at 8 and wait for the clock to tick past 7 in the evening. Its astonishing how quickly things can change @ work. Just when I thought I dont have to worry about my future atleast for some more years,'BANG!'  Projects dont seem to come through, management seems to come up with policies such as 'project value will have an impact on your appraisal' (Thats totally unfair,atleast from the employees perspective .I can understand from the employers perspective but i would rather not accept my understanding!!),and all of a sudden people from your team quit at an alarming rate poking questions on your hope for things to turn around in the team. But I guess everybody will go through this phase at one point of time or another :) I have started lamenting a lot about this,especially to my roomates and close friends and everybody seem so cool about the situation. They are like "Machi, why are you cribbing like this? Just change company na?". I am amazed at how easily they say that. Am I the only one with very little confidence of getting a job in another company or would I also have said the same thing if someone lamented to me??!! God help me!! For the moment,I am going to stick on to the company for some more time and hope things will take a turn for the better :)
