I was there during the initial cuts, and it never stops at one phase. They use the same 'operational efficiency' script every time they prepare to shut down a site completely. If I were you, I’d stop waiting for clarity from management and start aggressively updating your resume today. The writing is on the wall, and they definitely aren’t planning to keep a skeleton crew indefinitely. Just get out while you can still frame your departure as a choice rather than a layoff.
It is honestly sickening to watch the slow-motion collapse of the Naperville office. Everyone knows the 'streamlining' talk is just a corporate euphemism for liquidating the location. I stopped paying attention to the town halls months ago because they clearly don't value our tenure or contribution. If you’re still there, assume the worst and prepare for it. They’ve already made their decision to hollow the place out; they’re just waiting for the logistics to align before they lock the doors for good.
