Frequent reorgs and zero communication. Is the ship sinking?

I’m honestly exhausted. It feels like we’re constantly shifting the org chart every six months. Every time we finish a 'restructuring' phase, leadership tells us we’re finally set up for success, and then three months later, the same chaos starts all over again. Lately, the vibe in the office—even remotely—is just tense. People are quiet in Slack, the cameras are off in meetings, and it feels like everyone is just waiting for the other shoe to drop. I’ve heard whispers of performance reviews being used as a filter to 'manage people out' rather than actual growth conversations. If they’re going to do a massive reduction, just rip the band-aid off already. Keeping everyone in this state of perpetual anxiety is destroying morale. I’m tired of working hard on projects that get canned in a reorg six weeks later. If you’re seeing the same thing on your team, sound off. I just want to know if I’m losing my mind or if this is the beginning of the end for our division.

I’ve been watching this cycle repeat for years now and honestly, it never ends. They treat the org chart like a game of musical chairs instead of focusing on actual product stability or employee retention. The constant pivots are exhausting and clearly signal that leadership doesn’t have a long-term vision. At this point, I’m just keeping my head down, doing the bare minimum, and updating my resume. If you’re feeling the tension, trust your gut—it’s not just in your head, and it’s likely time to start looking elsewhere before the next wave of 'optimizations' hits.

It is honestly depressing to see how much the culture has shifted over the last few quarters. The silence in Slack is deafening, and the lack of transparency from the top is exactly what happens when management loses touch with the people doing the actual work. Everyone is burnt out from trying to keep up with the moving targets, and the rumors about performance reviews just add to the feeling that we are all replaceable pawns in their game. Do yourself a favor and set aside some time this weekend to start networking; you deserve a place that values stability over chaos.
