Zero transparency on the integration plan

It’s honestly insulting how they’re handling this. We’re being told 'business as usual' while the media is already reporting on specific headcount targets. How are we supposed to stay focused on projects when we know a huge chunk of the workforce is basically on the chopping block? I caught a glimpse of an email a manager accidentally left on a shared screen, and it mentioned 'workforce consolidation' by April. The culture here has completely evaporated. Everyone is just looking for the exit now. It’s hard to put in 50 hours a week for a company that treats its employees like line items on a spreadsheet. If you’re currently working on legacy systems, update your LinkedIn and start pinging recruiters. Don't wait for them to force your hand. The lack of integrity from the top down is just the final nail in the coffin for me. Does anyone know if the severance policy is even going to be honored, or are they going to find a way to circumvent it?

That email sighting confirms exactly what we all feared. The 'business as usual' line is just a stalling tactic to keep the productivity metrics up while they sharpen the axe behind our backs. If they were actually going to be transparent, they wouldn't be hiding behind vague buzzwords like 'workforce consolidation.' At this point, updating your resume isn't just a precaution, it's a necessity. Don't let your loyalty to a company that views you as a line item on a spreadsheet blind you to what’s coming in April.

It’s infuriating, but unfortunately, this is standard procedure for these types of acquisitions. Leadership expects us to carry the full weight of the workload while they plot our replacements behind closed doors. The best thing you can do is check out mentally, do the bare minimum required to keep your paycheck flowing, and prioritize your own exit strategy. Nobody is coming to save your job, so stop worrying about those projects and start focusing on your own future elsewhere. The culture is dead; don't go down with the ship.
