Feeling the pressure after the recent headcount reduction

Is it just me, or is the environment at FBBP becoming incredibly toxic post-layoffs? We lost nearly 30 folks in Delcambre recently, and instead of a clear path forward, the higher-ups are just pushing for 'increased efficiency' with fewer hands on deck. I’m tired of being asked to cover two roles while receiving zero clarity on whether my job is safe through the end of the year. The lack of transparency from leadership is honestly the worst part. We get these vague internal memos about 'optimizing our footprint' while the people who actually keep the lights on are getting walked out the door. If you are in a position to jump ship, do it. The culture here has shifted from building products to just managing the decline. How is everyone else holding up in their respective regions?

I’m right there with you. The 'efficiency' talk is just corporate speak for burning out the people left behind. Watching colleagues go is bad enough, but being expected to absorb their workload without a clear plan or salary adjustment is insulting. It’s clear they care more about hitting quarterly targets than maintaining any kind of stability. The lack of transparency makes it impossible to plan for the future, and honestly, the uncertainty is worse than the actual news. Just keep your head down and start looking elsewhere; loyalty doesn't seem to be a two-way street here anymore.

That sounds like the typical playbook, unfortunately. They cut deep to satisfy the shareholders, then scramble to fix the broken workflows by leaning on the survivors. If you’re already doing the work of two people, you’re basically carrying the department while management hides behind buzzwords and vague memos. Don't fall for the 'we're all in this together' narrative. Protect your own interests, update your resume, and don't let them guilt-trip you into overextending yourself. It’s time to focus on your own career path instead of waiting for leadership to offer clarity that clearly isn't coming.
