New WARN notice for Pittsburg site - here we go again

Just saw the notification hit for the Loveridge Road facility. Looks like another 6 people are officially on the chopping block effective March 2028. I know it’s a smaller number compared to the bloodbaths we’ve seen in years past, but the vibe in the office has been absolutely toxic lately. Every time a new notice pops up, the Slack channels go dead silent and everyone starts checking their calendars to see if they’re next. Is this just the start of a bigger wave for Q1, or are they just pruning specific departments this time? I’m exhausted from the constant restructuring talk. It’s hard to focus on actual R&D when you’re constantly wondering if your project lead is going to be gone by Monday morning. If anyone at the Pittsburg site has more context on whether this is site-specific or if there’s more coming down the pipe for other locations, please chime in.

The drip-feed of these notices is honestly more exhausting than a single massive layoff. At least when they rip the band-aid off, the uncertainty stops for a while. With these small batches, nobody feels safe, and productivity is basically non-existent because we’re all just waiting for the next notification. I’ve stopped checking the general channels entirely since the atmosphere turned so hostile. It’s hard to focus on long-term projects when you’re constantly wondering if your department is next on the chopping block. Hang in there.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is just the beginning of a much larger consolidation effort for Q1. Management loves to frame these as minor 'operational optimizations' while the rest of us scramble to cover the extra workload left behind. The silence in the office is the loudest part—nobody wants to talk about it because admitting the fear makes it feel too real. At this point, the best strategy is to keep your head down, update your resume, and stop waiting for transparency that’s clearly never coming from leadership.
