Anyone else getting tired of the 'Corporate Synergy' gaslighting?

I’m honestly at my breaking point with the leadership team here. We spent all year being told that we were hitting our milestones and that Hologic was in a strong position, yet here we are, watching 86 people get canned just five days before Christmas. The disconnect between what they tell us in the town halls and the actual reality on the ground is getting impossible to ignore. How are we supposed to stay motivated when we’re constantly told to do more with less, only to have our teammates fired? It’s not just the job cuts; it’s the way they handle it. Zero transparency, cold emails, and then an immediate pivot to talking about ‘innovation’ like nothing happened. I love the mission of what we do in med-tech, but the corporate culture has turned into a revolving door of anxiety. Anyone else feeling like the internal promotions and ‘career pathing’ discussions are just a way to keep us compliant until they decide the department is redundant? I’m exhausted.

It is the same script every single quarter. They talk about record-breaking innovation and market leadership while gutting the teams that actually keep the lights on. The 'do more with less' mantra is just a polite way of saying they want to squeeze every drop of productivity out of us before showing us the door. It is absolutely gut-wrenching to see people let go right before the holidays. The trust is completely gone, and honestly, why should anyone be surprised at this point? They care about the stock price, not the people who built the product.

I have been watching the internal messaging for months, and it feels like we are living in two different companies. When leadership stands on that stage talking about growth and synergy, they are either completely delusional or just outright lying to us. Losing 86 colleagues right before Christmas is a slap in the face. It is clear that we are just numbers on a spreadsheet to them, completely disposable whenever a margin needs a slight adjustment. I am exhausted from the performative positivity when the reality of working here has become so incredibly toxic.
