Anyone else feeling totally lost after the reorg?

I'm in the marketing department, and honestly, I'm just staring at my screen. We lost half the team last week, including my direct manager, and nobody seems to know what's going on. New projects are on hold, old projects are just... there. I've been here for 5 years, always got great reviews, and now I feel like I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop. Has anyone else experienced this after a big layoff? What did you *do*? Seriously considering updating my resume, but the job market is so rough right now. Maybe I should just coast and collect a paycheck until they fire me.

Totally get it. Big reorgs are designed to be disruptive. Don't take it personally that you feel lost; *everyone* does. I'd suggest setting up brief 1:1s with people *outside* your immediate team to figure out who's really in charge of what now and where your old projects fit in. Information is power, even if it just helps you decide whether to jump ship. Good luck!

Five years with good reviews? That's a pretty solid track record. Before you panic, consider this might be a good opportunity. Companies often restructure to streamline operations. See if you can identify any gaps created by the departures and propose solutions. This shows initiative and could position you for a promotion. Plus, it buys you time to feel things out before rushing into a tight job market.
