Is anyone else getting 'the calendar invite' in Lexington?

I’m seeing a lot of chatter about the Fayette office. The WARN notice confirms the 322 headcount reduction, but it feels like the internal comms are trying to gaslight us into thinking this is just a 'routine restructuring' rather than a massive hit to the local site. I walked into the breakroom this morning and half the desks near mine are already cleared out. Nobody from management is saying anything, just that 'the leadership team is committed to the region.' If they’re committed, why is the headcount dropping like a rock? I’ve been here for six years and I’ve never seen morale this low. Everyone is just sitting at their desks waiting for a ping that never comes, or worse, one that starts with 'Please join this meeting.' Is anyone else in Newton Pike hearing about more rounds coming after this? I’m trying to decide if I should start applying elsewhere today or wait for a package that might never come.

The gaslighting is exactly what makes this so much worse. We’ve all seen the internal memos about 'aligning resources,' but empty desks don't lie. It’s infuriating how they hide behind corporate buzzwords while people’s livelihoods are being erased overnight. If they were actually committed to the Lexington site, they wouldn't be treating us like we're blind. Just watch—they’ll keep acting like everything is business as usual until the very last person is walked out the door. Don't believe a word they say in the town hall meetings.

I was in the Fayette office yesterday, and the atmosphere was absolutely toxic. It felt like walking through a graveyard. Management is clearly terrified of admitting the scale of what's happening, so they rely on those vague, robotic statements about 'strategic growth' to keep us quiet. It's insulting. They know we see exactly what's going on, yet they continue to play these games. My advice? Keep your resume updated and don't count on any of their reassurances. This isn't a restructuring; it's a slow-motion exit.
