Fortinet - Anyone else's team been 're-orged' recently with vague reasoning?

Just went through another departmental 're-alignment' at Fortinet. The explanation was pretty vague, something about optimizing efficiency and cross-functional collaboration. Sounds good on paper, but honestly, it feels more like shuffling people around and hoping for the best. My team's roles have shifted significantly, and it's hard to see the tangible benefit right now. Lots of questions about reporting structures and what this actually means for our day-to-day. Anyone else in a similar boat? Wondering if this is a company-wide trend or just my specific division getting the 'optimization' treatment. Hoping it leads to something positive, but the current confusion is a bit draining.

Yep, experienced something similar a few months back. The official line was all about synergy and streamlining, but it felt more like a leadership game of musical chairs. My team's responsibilities got split and re-assigned without much clarity on how it would actually improve our workflow. The constant questioning and uncertainty are the worst part. Feels like we're spending more time trying to figure out who does what than actually getting work done. Hopefully, things settle down for you soon.

I can definitely relate. Our recent 're-alignment' also came with a lot of buzzwords that didn't translate into practical understanding. It's frustrating when leadership talks about efficiency but the actual impact seems to be increased confusion and duplicated effort. The lack of concrete answers about how this benefits the company or our roles is a common theme. It's tough to stay motivated when you feel like your contributions are being deprioritized for the sake of abstract organizational goals.
