Anyone else's team suddenly scrambling to document everything?

Seriously, for the past week or two, my whole team has been in overdrive trying to get all our processes, codebases, and project histories documented. It feels like someone lit a fire under us, but nobody's actually *telling* us why. My manager is being super vague, just saying 'proactive measures' and 'ensuring knowledge continuity.' It's giving me major anxiety. I've been in QA here for 4 years and this sudden push feels different from our usual cycles. Feels like we're prepping for something big, and not in a good way. Anyone else's department suddenly turn into documentation fanatics?

Yeah, that's a weird vibe. I've seen similar things happen before major company restructuring or, frankly, before layoffs. 'Knowledge continuity' can be a euphemism for making sure the remaining people know what the people who just left were doing, or documenting roles that might be consolidated. Keep your head down, do the work, but maybe start updating your resume quietly just in case. It's better to be prepared than caught off guard. Good luck!

My team's been doing the same! We figured it's probably just due diligence before the holiday season or maybe a big project kick-off that requires a clean slate. Managers always get cagey about the 'why' because they either don't know themselves or they're not allowed to say until it's official. Honestly, documenting things is rarely a bad thing in the long run, even if it feels like a scramble now. At least your code and processes will be more organized afterwards. Try to see it as a forced spring cleaning.
