Anyone else's team shrinking at Cadence?

Lurking for a while, but this feels like the right place to ask. My team at Cadence has seen a couple of folks leave recently, and we haven't been backfilled. The workload hasn't decreased, obviously. Feels like management is trying to absorb the work with fewer people, which is always a fun balancing act. Is this happening elsewhere in the company, or am I in a particularly 'streamlined' department? There haven't been any official layoff announcements, which is good, but the slow bleed and increased pressure on remaining staff is starting to feel like a precursor to something. Just wondering if anyone has heard any internal chatter about headcount adjustments or re-prioritization that might explain this. Trying to get a sense of the broader picture before my workload becomes completely unmanageable. Any insights from other departments would be appreciated.

Yeah, I've heard similar whispers across different groups. It feels like a general belt-tightening, trying to do more with less across the board. It's definitely stressful when the workload stays the same or even increases, but the headcount doesn't. Hope things stabilize for your team soon.

This sounds familiar. We've experienced similar situations where roles aren't backfilled, leading to increased pressure on existing staff. While there haven't been mass layoffs, the gradual reduction and expectation to absorb tasks is a real concern for morale and burnout. It's a tough environment right now.
