Anyone else notice the quiet 'right-sizing' happening?

So, I haven't seen any official announcements, but I've noticed a definite uptick in "voluntary" departures and a slowdown in hiring across several departments. It feels like a more subtle, almost surgical approach to 'right-sizing' rather than a big, public layoff event. Combined with the Aduhelm situation, it's hard to ignore the signals. Are people being encouraged to leave with enhanced severance? Or are some teams just quietly shrinking due to 'restructuring'? It's the lack of transparency that's really getting to me. Makes you wonder who's next and if your role is secure. Anyone have any inside intel on what's *really* going on behind the scenes?

I've heard whispers too. It's definitely a strange atmosphere around the company lately. The 'voluntary' separations and hiring freeze feel more like a slow bleed than a sudden crisis, but the impact is the same. Feels like a lot of uncertainty for those still there, wondering what the next move will be. Hard to plan anything when the ground feels so unstable.

The Aduhelm fallout is undeniable and it seems like the ripple effects are still being felt internally. This quiet 'right-sizing' is a common tactic when companies want to avoid negative press, but it creates a lot of anxiety for employees. Makes you wonder what the long-term strategy is and if the current leadership truly understands the impact on morale and productivity.
