| Federal-adjacent manager with 20 years experience. I hadn't been worried about my job security given my industry and niche expertise but this was unexpected. Never had something like this happen before. |

| People look at other peoples' LinkedIn profiles! I would not worry about this. |

| It could be that the outplacement consultant is trying to determine if a job like yours is an option for one of their clients. So they looked at your LinkedIn profile to see an example of the background/experience of someone currently in that type of position. |

| Yeah you should probably start applying for new jobs now vs waiting. |
