Feeling the pressure in my team, anyone else noticing quiet layoffs?

Been at ADI for about 7 years now, mostly in firmware engineering. Lately, there's been this weird vibe in my team. People are being really tight-lipped, and there's been a noticeable reduction in headcount over the last couple of months, but no official announcement or anything. My manager's been dodging direct questions about team size and future projects. We lost a couple of really solid engineers on my team and they were just... gone. No goodbye, no explanation. Feels like they're doing it quietly to avoid a big splash. Anyone else in other divisions or teams seeing something similar? Are they just doing targeted cuts, or is this the start of something bigger? Honestly, it's making it hard to focus when you don't know if your role is next. Starting to dust off the resume just in case.

That sounds incredibly unsettling. I haven't directly experienced that at ADI, but I've heard whispers from friends at other large tech firms about similar situations. It's tough when management isn't transparent, especially when it affects people's livelihoods and team morale. Focus on your own work and document everything you can, just in case. Keep your resume updated and network discreetly. It might be worth exploring what's happening in other departments too, to see if it's an isolated incident or a broader trend.

Quiet layoffs? That's a pretty harsh way to describe it if true. While I understand the unease, sometimes these things happen due to project reallocations or performance management that aren't widely broadcast. Did your colleagues get severance or did they just leave? Without official confirmation, it's hard to say what's really going on. Maybe there's a restructuring happening that hasn't been communicated yet, or perhaps they're trying to avoid panic. Try to get concrete info before jumping to conclusions.
