The rumors are definitely picking up. I’ve noticed the same pattern—whenever things look like they are stabilizing, the upper management goes into lockdown mode. Those calendar invites without agendas are the classic sign of headcount planning. I wouldn't be surprised if they’re looking to trim some of the redundancies from the recent expansion. Keep your resume updated and stay low, because the quiet in the office usually precedes a pretty rough announcement. It’s hard to stay focused when the atmosphere is this tense.
Honestly, I think you're overthinking it. We’ve been hearing 'restructuring' rumors every single quarter for years now. It’s just how the corporate culture functions here—leadership loves to keep everyone guessing to maintain pressure. The strategy meetings are likely just standard budget planning for the next fiscal year, not necessarily layoffs. Don't let the office gossip stress you out too much. Just do your job, hit your metrics, and ignore the noise until someone actually puts a meeting on your calendar that you can't talk your way out of.
