Michigan office hit again—anyone else seeing the trend?

Just saw the WARN notice for the Dearborn site. 90 people gone, effective end of March. It’s honestly exhausting waiting for the next shoe to drop. Leadership keeps feeding us the 'operational efficiency' line, but we all know the drill by now. It’s not just about trimming fat anymore; it feels like they’re just carving out entire departments to pump up the margins before the next earnings call. I’ve been here over five years, and the morale is basically non-existent. People aren't even pretending to care about the new initiatives anymore. We’re all just keeping our heads down, doing the bare minimum, and waiting to see if our desk is still there on Monday. Has anyone in other regions heard rumblings about more cuts? The lack of transparency from the top is the worst part—they talk about 'values' and 'culture' while people find out they’re jobless via a calendar invite. If you're in Michigan, please reach out if you need resources or leads. We’re all we’ve got at this point.

It is brutal watching the cycle repeat itself over and over. When I was there, we heard the exact same 'operational efficiency' rhetoric right before the layoffs started hitting our department. It creates such a toxic environment where everyone is constantly looking over their shoulder instead of actually getting work done. Five years is a long time to invest only to be treated like a line item on a spreadsheet. Honestly, at this point, the best move for your mental health is probably to start quietly looking for an exit strategy before the next round of cuts comes around.

I have been tracking the moves across the different sites and it is definitely a pattern. They are clearly prioritizing short-term stock performance over the actual health of the company or the people who built these teams. It is frustrating because you see the same leadership bonuses announced while the actual workforce is being gutted under the guise of efficiency. Anyone still there should keep their resume updated and their networking channels open, because if they are hitting Michigan that hard, it is clearly a top-down mandate to cut costs regardless of the human impact.
