Hess - Navigating the Merger Uncertainty

With the Chevron deal still in limbo and the volatility in the energy sector, I'm finding it hard to focus on day-to-day tasks. My team's been doing great work, hitting our targets, but there's this underlying feeling of 'what's the point if our roles might disappear or change drastically?' I've seen some smaller teams get consolidated already, and while it wasn't framed as layoffs, people definitely moved around. It makes you wonder if more significant changes are on the horizon once the dust settles, or even before. Is anyone else feeling this way? How are you managing the stress and maintaining productivity when the future feels so uncertain? Any advice on how to approach managers about concerns without sounding alarmist?
