Small wave hit San Bernardino today—anyone else seeing this?

Just saw the WARN notice for the East Brier location. It’s only 9 people this time, but it never feels like just a random headcount adjustment when it’s GS. It feels like they are methodically clearing out desks one region at a time to avoid a massive headline. I’m in a different office, but the mood is absolutely toxic right now. Managers are acting like they don't know anything, but the calendar invites are getting suspiciously vague again. For those of us who survived the bigger cuts earlier this year, does anyone actually feel safe? I feel like I’m just waiting for my turn to be walked out. How are you guys handling the daily dread? Is anyone actually planning to jump ship, or are we all just riding this out until the annual bonus hits? Honestly, I don't even know if the bonus is guaranteed at this point.

The 'death by a thousand cuts' strategy has been their go-to playbook for a while now. By hitting regional offices in small clusters instead of a single major RIF, they manage to keep the news cycles quiet while the culture inside continues to rot. It’s impossible to build any kind of professional momentum when you’re constantly looking over your shoulder wondering if your department is next on the chopping block. Keep your resume updated and stay liquid, because the management transparency is clearly non-existent right now.

It is honestly exhausting watching them play this game. They think nobody notices the pattern, but the silence from leadership just makes the anxiety worse for everyone left behind. When the invites start looking like generic 'syncs' with HR presence, you already know what time it is. The toxicity is palpable in the halls, and frankly, I’ve stopped caring about the quarterly targets. Just do your work, keep your head down, and get out of there as soon as you find something more stable.
