In this dream I had made the mistake of accepting a job. It became clear that recently they had layoffs. There were two parts to the team: most team members were statisticians, and a few of us including me were parts inventory people. I realized that most team members in both parts resented me, and soon realized why. The layoffs had been of the parts inventory people, and then I was hired instead because I was cheaper, but I knew less and could not replace former team mates for many reasons. I quit the job. Told the boss, and she agreed it was a wise decision. She also said that as long as I could not talk the language of statistics the statisticians would not have respected me, but if I used a statistics term that's when the trouble would really start. I told her that I was just giving her an informal heads up, and not to tell anyone else until I gave her a formal written notice letter.
