Reason for leaving

Hi, recently my company has laid off employees and there will be another batch of layoffs in the next couple of months. So, I felt anxious about that and applied to other companies and there is one company that called me for an interview (same role as my current company) next week. I'm wondering what to write in the application form for “reason for leaving”, what “reasonable” reason should I state in “reason for leaving” when I'm actually anxious and want to find a backup plan just in case I get laid off from my current company?

Stumbled upon this recommendation on YouTube about going to HR with your issues

https://youtu.be/W3876L596Os Brilliant video in my opinion. It's pretty much common knowledge at this point among antiwork members but if anyone still thinks HR can help with any actual issue this video is for you.

Long letter I sent to my boss after being fed up with the workplace.

For context, my employers are all men. It's been a shit year and I didn't realize till I was absolutely fed up. During a meeting on february 14, the engineer that was berated alongside me quit on the spot. i decided to send this letter after that. Would you guys think this is something I can work through or should I leave? Names of people and projects have been changed for identity purposes. Dear John, I am writing this letter to express my concerns about the current situation at abc company following the mandatory staff meeting on February 14, 2023. During the meeting, my colleague, Jenn, and I were berated and blamed for issues we were not aware of in front of everyone. I feel it is imperative to address the issues that need attention at abc.

just started new job and I have no idea what I’m doing

I barely even know my job responsibilities. It's working in the billing department and working with insurance claims for GI patients. And a whole shit ton of other things. It's entry level and they don't expect me to know anything, but good God the amount of info that was thrown at me in the last 3 days, and I wasn't even able to like… sit down and practice it. I'm so overwhelmed. Part of me wants to quit but I cant.
