I’ve been tracking those same calendar patterns for the past two weeks. It’s definitely not just you. The 'operational efficiency' buzzword is the classic corporate shorthand for headcount reductions. Back when they did the last major shift, the radio silence from the top floor was the exact same red flag. If your manager is suddenly dodging simple questions about project timelines, it’s safe to assume they’re already briefed on the plan and just can’t say anything yet. Keep your resume updated and make sure you’ve backed up any personal files you might need.
Honestly, I think you’re reading way too much into this. Leadership is probably just heads-down trying to navigate the current regulatory landscape and shifting energy demands. Every time things get quiet, everyone on here immediately jumps to the worst-case scenario about restructuring. It’s exhausting to see the constant doom-scrolling every time a few meetings get scheduled. Business as usual usually just means boring, quiet work. Just focus on your own output and stop trying to play detective with leadership's calendar—it’s not worth the unnecessary stress.
