Are we just waiting for the axe to fall?

With the 111 roles in Minot getting cut this week, does anyone actually feel secure? I feel like we’re in this weird purgatory where we’re still expected to hit all our production targets, but nobody is empowered to make a decision because they’re terrified of being the next one out the door. The communication from leadership has been non-existent, just the same canned emails about 'uncertain times.' It’s exhausting. I’ve been here for years, and it feels like the culture has completely evaporated in the last few months. Is anyone else seeing people just mentally checking out? I’m seeing half-empty floors and people taking two-hour lunches just to avoid being at their desks. At this point, I’m almost rooting for the layoff just so I can stop looking over my shoulder and get my payout. Has anyone heard if they are offering any enhanced packages, or are we just getting the bare minimum standard severance?

The silence from the top is the most frustrating part of all this. Everyone knows the drill by now—keep your head down, hit your numbers, and wait for the calendar to flip. It’s impossible to feel motivated when your long-term dedication is treated like a line item on a spreadsheet. Watching the Minot cuts happen while leadership hides behind vague emails just proves that loyalty doesn't pay. At this point, I’m just updating my resume and looking for an exit strategy before the next round of decisions comes down.

I hear you. The atmosphere is toxic right now, but honestly, I think waiting around for clarity is a losing game. Management is clearly prioritizing the bottom line over the people who actually keep the operations running. If you're feeling that purgatory, it’s probably time to stop worrying about production targets and start prioritizing your own future. This company stopped being a place where we could feel secure a long time ago. Protect your own interests, because nobody else in that office is going to do it for you.
