Job security anxiety

Waiting for your input

Enter your sector, company health signals, performance context, and AI disruption risk. Podge returns a grounded verdict on whether the anxiety matches the evidence.

What this means

This instrument starts blank so it does not judge a made-up example before you have entered your own situation.

Formula used

Actual risk score combines company health (40%), performance signals (35%), and AI disruption exposure (25%), adjusted for tenure. Compared against felt anxiety to identify the gap.

Worked example

A solid performer at a stable company with moderate AI exposure scores a risk of ~25/100. If they rate their anxiety at 8/10, the gap is significant — the worry is outrunning the evidence.

Common questions

What's the difference between this and the Should I Quit calculator?
Should I Quit helps you decide whether to leave. This tool asks whether the background anxiety you're carrying is proportionate to the actual signals — a different question.

Why does tenure reduce the risk score?
Longer tenure provides some protection in most organisations through institutional knowledge, relationships, and redundancy cost. It's a buffer, not a guarantee.
