Another round of cuts: 39 in NY

Just saw the WARN filing come through for the NY office. 39 people gone effective end of March. It’s wild because they keep talking about 'operational efficiency' and 'leaner structures' in the town halls, but the workload hasn't decreased one bit. If anything, those of us left are just holding the bag for two people now. Anyone in the field or HQ hearing if this is just the beginning or if this specific region was targeted? The silence from management is deafening. I’ve been here six years and the culture has shifted so much lately. It feels like we’re just waiting for the next shoe to drop every time a meeting invite pops up on the calendar. Really makes you wonder if it’s time to update the resume before the next wave hits.

The 'operational efficiency' buzzword is just code for doing more with less until everything breaks. I’ve seen this pattern play out in other regions, and it’s rarely contained to just one office. Once they start trimming, they look for any excuse to prune the headcount further to satisfy quarterly projections. Don't expect any transparency from the top; they’ll keep selling the 'lean' narrative while the rest of you burn out trying to cover the gap. Start polishing your resume now, because if history holds, this is just the first wave of a broader trend.

That’s brutal. Six years of institutional knowledge thrown out the door for a balance sheet adjustment. Honestly, I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for an internal update. Management plays it close to the chest until the very last second to keep production from stalling. If the workload is already spiking, start setting firm boundaries. You aren't responsible for fixing the staffing issues they created by letting people go. Watch your own back and see if you can jump ship before the next round of 'efficiency' measures targets your department next.
