My work environment has gone to hell this year. First I was told to move across country on my own dime to keep my job. Then to report to the office 3x a week for no good reason only to have them close the office next to my new apartment forcing me to commute. Then I watched several people get laid off or demoted after moving for the job. Now we are to start reporting to the office 5x a week and there is no assigned seating and no guarantees that I won't be laid off or demoted next. I'm dealing with it this year by telling them to get stuffed and moving back home.
