Is the culture salvageable at this point?

Honestly, at what point do we just admit that LNC is a sinking ship? The constant reorgs and the 'restructuring' notices are starting to feel like a weekly occurrence. I’ve been here for several years, and it’s unrecognizable. Management keeps talking about 'transforming the business,' but it just feels like they are cutting corners to hit arbitrary margin targets while the rest of us scramble to keep the systems running. The lack of transparency regarding these layoffs is the most toxic part. We’re all just waiting for the calendar invite to appear out of nowhere. Is anyone actually looking for exit strategies, or is everyone just riding it out for the severance package at this point?

It’s not salvageable because the institutional knowledge has completely walked out the door. When you lose the people who actually know how the legacy systems function, you aren't 'transforming' anything; you’re just setting the stage for a catastrophic failure. Management is too busy chasing short-term quarterly metrics to realize they’ve gutted the very foundation that keeps the company afloat. At this point, the only thing left to do is polish your resume and get out before the next round of cuts hits your department. The ship isn't just sinking, it’s already taking on water at the engine room level.

I honestly think the ship sailed a long time ago. Every 'restructuring' is just code for cutting staff to inflate the stock price for a few months while the actual service quality plummets. They treat us like line items on a spreadsheet rather than human beings, and the morale is non-existent. It’s hard to stay loyal to a place that views you as an obstacle to their arbitrary margin goals. If you're still waiting for things to get better, you're only setting yourself up for more disappointment when the next memo drops.
