Feeling the pressure after the latest round of cuts

Is it just me, or does every 'strategic pivot' here result in less support and higher quotas? We keep hearing about the company focusing on 'core growth,' but the core is feeling pretty hollowed out. After seeing the news about the latest cuts, the remaining team is essentially being asked to do the work of three people for the same salary. There’s zero discussion about workload management, just more internal webinars about resilience and agility. I’m tired of being told to do more with less while the executive team pats themselves on the back for hitting margin targets. If anyone has tips on how to pivot out of the CPG space without taking a massive pay cut, I’m all ears. I just don't see a path forward here that doesn't end in another round of 'restructuring' every eighteen months.

It feels like we’re in an endless loop of restructuring that never actually stabilizes. I’ve stopped paying attention to the executive town halls because the rhetoric about 'growth' and 'streamlining' is clearly just code for gutting departments. Expecting us to absorb the workload of those who were let go without any adjustment to our KPIs or compensation is completely unsustainable. At some point, the quality of our output has to suffer, but it seems management is more focused on optics than the actual reality on the ground. We are exhausted.

The 'resilience' webinars are the most insulting part of this whole situation. They want us to stay agile while they cut the legs out from under every team. It’s impossible to feel motivated when your primary reward for hitting targets is just being assigned more work from departed colleagues. If the leadership team actually cared about 'core growth,' they would invest in keeping the people who built these processes rather than creating this churn. It’s just burning out the survivors until there’s nothing left.
