Is this the new norm? Constant restructuring.

Honestly, this constant cycle of layoffs and 'strategic realignments' is exhausting. First, it was about pushing one technology, then it's another. Now it's all about this new push, and people are getting cut. It feels like there's no stability anymore. You dedicate yourself to a project, a team, and then suddenly, it's 'redundant' or 'not aligned with future goals.' I get that companies need to adapt, but the human cost of these abrupt shifts is immense. Are we just expected to roll with these punches every year or two? Feels like we're just cogs in a machine that's constantly being reconfigured, and we're the ones getting broken in the process.

It's disheartening to see such churn. The feeling of instability is palpable when you're consistently told that yesterday's priorities are today's mistakes. It makes genuine long-term investment in your role feel like a gamble. I've seen talented people leave because they just couldn't take the constant uncertainty and the lack of a clear, consistent vision from leadership.

I hear you. It feels like a hamster wheel sometimes. You pour your energy into mastering a platform or a process, only for it to be deemed irrelevant in the next fiscal quarter. While adaptation is key in business, the way these shifts are handled, often with little notice and significant impact on dedicated employees, leaves a lot to be desired.
