Not yet but I'm terrified.

Most of last year was me trying to land this job, my first as a dev. So far this year my company has had a massive layoff, that resulted in the team I started on disappearing six weeks after I joined it. I was shuffled from full stack web work to seo data pipeline work. I have no idea what I'm doing or least that is how it feels. I didn't know PHP before starting, with most of my past experience being in React. Now I'm supposed to be doing SQL, Hadoop, and all these other things. I am trying my hardest but...

Our stock price went down like a rock after the layoffs, after the earnings call, and now with all this mess. I'm worried that my inexperience puts me in a position where if another layoff were to happen I worry I would be a target.

I know I should be thankful that I still have a job. That I am a citizen of the country I'm in. But I'm scared, and don't know what will happen if the job ends.
