Search Results: bad company

I've been working for this company as a Medical Transcriptionist for 6 months now. I do my job well and kick ass on what I do. I actually love what I do.

Problem is, since I started I've seen so many people get hired for other departments but others that have been there for a while get fired shortly after. I get really bad anxiety as I've been seeing this for months. My company is an at will company but they still have the verbal, written, etc. warnings. However, I don't see them implementing those and just fire people on the spot (a few ex coworkers told me this). So I feel uneasy and I don't decorate my desk because I'm scared I'm going to get fired for no reason at all. I have my own apartment and bills to pay. So I can't afford to get fired. The "most" trouble I've been in was talking too much? I exceeded my documentation quota and am still productive, but my manager still sent me and two other coworkers a message about talking too much but no disciplinary action was taken. We also, don't have a Union if that matters.

Should I shrug it off? Look for a more secure job? Or something else?

I'm feeling really conflicted about this. Basically, my company is flying people out from around the country to my city and we're going to spend two days in a row together (which was optional, but I decided to go to the offsite to meet people).

After spending all day together, we're going out to dinner on one day and doing an activity on the other day. I agreed to do the activity, but told my boss I won't be attending the team dinner on the other night.

I'm an introvert, and I wanted to have that time to decompress, but now I'm feeling bad since people are traveling so far for this.

Did I do the right thing declining, especially since I'm spending the rest of the two days with them?
