Anyone else noticing the calendar lockouts?

Is it just me, or has the atmosphere at the office shifted significantly over the last two weeks? I’ve been trying to book meetings with leadership to finalize Q3 roadmaps, but almost everyone is 'out of office' or suddenly in 'private' all-day blocks. It feels like the same pattern I saw right before the last round of cuts—everyone is hunkered down, minimizing their digital footprint, and keeping their cameras off during syncs. My manager usually does a 1:1 on Tuesdays, but he pushed it to Friday and then canceled it entirely without rescheduling. I'm keeping my resume updated tonight because I’d rather be prepared than blindsided. Has anyone else’s skip-level cancelled their check-ins recently? It feels like the silence is getting louder.

It's definitely not just you. That eerie silence and the sudden cluster of 'private' calendar blocks is a textbook sign that something is brewing behind the scenes. When leadership stops engaging and starts ghosting their own teams, they're usually just waiting for the final clearance from legal to make the announcement. Start brushing up your resume and downloading your work samples now, because that corporate bunker mentality is almost always the prelude to a messy layoff cycle. Protect yourself first.
