Anyone else feeling the constant anxiety of the 'next round'?

Is anyone actually still sleeping well at night here? Ever since the shift toward the 'Transformative Growth' nonsense, it feels like we’re just waiting for the next shoe to drop every single quarter. First it was Jessup, now Fairburn, and honestly, the silence from leadership is deafening. They talk about efficiency and digital transformation, but it’s just code for 'how many bodies can we cut before the systems crash?' My manager won't even give a straight answer when we ask about headcount stability for the year. It’s hard to stay motivated when you’re constantly wondering if you’re next on the spreadsheet. Has anyone started looking elsewhere yet, or is the market as dead as it feels?

It is exhausting to watch. Every quarter feels like a game of musical chairs where the music never actually stops, but another seat gets pulled away. Leadership loves to hide behind corporate jargon like 'efficiency' and 'optimization,' but we all know it’s just a slow bleed. When your own manager refuses to look you in the eye or give a straight answer, you know the culture is already gone. At this point, the best career move is polishing your resume while the ship is still afloat.

Honestly, the constant dread is exactly what they want. If they keep everyone off balance and worried about their standing, nobody has the energy to push back on the ridiculous directives coming down the pipe. It’s a classic management strategy to demoralize the workforce into compliance. Stop losing sleep over a company that sees you as a line item on a spreadsheet. Focus your energy on networking outside of this place, because eventually, the 'Transformative Growth' model is going to transform us all right out the door.
