Anyone hearing whispers about Q3 headcounts?

Is it just me, or has the vibe in the office been incredibly tense lately? I’ve been with Ascension for a few years now, and usually, the leadership communications are at least somewhat transparent. Lately, it feels like we’re getting the bare minimum updates, and the calendar invites for 'strategy alignment' meetings are starting to feel like a recurring nightmare. I’ve noticed a few departments have frozen hiring entirely, even for roles that have been open for months. I’m trying not to doom-scroll, but the silence from the top is deafening. Has anyone heard anything concrete regarding potential restructuring or workforce reductions? I’m mostly concerned about the non-clinical support roles, as those seem to be the first on the chopping block whenever we go through these cycles. If you’re in a different region, are you seeing similar patterns, or is my specific department just particularly chaotic right now? Just trying to gauge if I need to start polishing up my resume or if I’m just being paranoid.

Same here. Those 'strategy alignment' sessions are the classic precursor to a purge. I’ve been through this twice before at Ascension, and the pattern is identical: silence from the top, locked hiring portals, and suddenly everyone is 'optimizing' their team structure. If you’re seeing open roles being pulled, trust your gut. Start polishing the resume now, because the official announcement usually hits about two weeks after the managers stop making eye contact during town halls. Don't wait for them to confirm it; look out for yourself.
