Gen Digital - Management seems more distant than usual

Hey everyone, been at Gen for a few years now and something feels off lately. My manager, who used to be pretty engaged, seems really distant. We used to have regular 1:1s where we'd talk strategy and career growth, but now it's all just surface-level updates and brief check-ins. It feels like the higher-ups are just pushing information down without much actual interaction or transparency. There's this feeling of disconnect spreading through the teams. It's not just my manager; I'm hearing similar things from folks in other departments too. It's creating a weird atmosphere – everyone's trying to figure out what's going on, but nobody seems to have any real answers. Anyone else experiencing this kind of communication breakdown or perceived lack of engagement from leadership? Curious if this is a widespread thing or just my corner of the company.

I've noticed something similar. It feels like priorities have shifted and the focus is less on individual development and more on hitting broad, perhaps less transparent, company-wide goals. The lack of deep dives in 1:1s is definitely a symptom of that. It's disheartening when you're looking for guidance and just get brief status updates. Hoping this is a temporary phase as they navigate new initiatives, but it's definitely creating some unease. Worth keeping an eye on how this plays out.**

Interesting to hear others feel this way. My experience mirrors yours; the personal touch in management seems to have faded. It's easy to feel like just a cog in the machine when communication becomes solely top-down and devoid of genuine dialogue about our roles or the company's direction. I miss the days when managers actively invested time in understanding our challenges and aspirations. Hoping for a return to more engaged leadership soon.**
