I guess your job market as a scientist is even worth than for IT engineers right now. So I would keep looking for a new job while keeping my head down at the current one until I can safely secure a new one. There’s also a possibility that your problems at 2 months will get better after 6 months once you get to know all your colleagues better.

Thanks. One of my colleague did suggest that, I suppose I’ll start being selfish & start applying now. The problem itself will only get worse unless my entire institution unionizes or something similar… but it’s unlikely that I will get fired (my skills are very in demand) so there’s that; I am also trying to get independent funding which would mitigate the problem a lot

I helped my last company not fully unionize but come together to demand change. I got the support of several teams backing me to confront management on their return to office policy. Management changed their minds quick.
It’s not easy and was basically a second job for a few months for me, but you could always try to start the unionization effort.

Nice! I was on the unionization effort with my last employer too; I’d make a terrible leader but I have the skills for helping out. I am trying to get to know my coworkers better, so that is definitely not off the table
