Is the Culpeper office being phased out completely?

I’ve been trying to piece together the internal chatter after the 10/4 announcement. Everyone keeps saying it’s a 'strategic realignment,' but let’s be real—150 people in one hit for the VA site feels like more than just a trim. I’ve heard rumors that management is pushing for more headcount in NY and London while basically starving the Culpeper operations. If you’re still left sitting there, are you seeing your workload explode, or are they actually shipping the tasks overseas? It’s hard to stay focused on projects when you’re constantly wondering if you’re next on the list. The silence from leadership is deafening, and the town hall was just a bunch of buzzwords that didn't address the fact that entire teams were gutted. Is anyone getting actual guidance, or are we all just waiting for the next WARN notice to drop?

The mood here is definitely grim. The 'strategic realignment' talk is just corporate speak for an exit strategy. I’ve noticed the same push toward the NY hub, and honestly, the remaining team is already drowning in extra tasks as they force us to document processes for the offshored roles. Don't expect any transparency from the top; they’ll keep saying it’s just a minor shift until the day they lock the doors for good. If you can jump ship now, I’d suggest doing it before you’re just another stat in the next round of cuts.

I wouldn't hold your breath for any official confirmation on a total phase-out, but the writing is all over the wall. The resource allocation for Culpeper has been non-existent for months compared to the investment going into the overseas sites. It’s not just a trim; it’s a systematic dismantling. My advice is to stop waiting for management to clarify their vision and start updating your resume. Whatever they call it, the end result for that office seems pretty clear to anyone paying attention to the budget flow.
