I’ve been trying to process the news about the 133 people let go back in April. It feels like we’ve been in a constant state of flux for over a year now. Every time a new notice pops up on the WARN tracker, the group chat goes dead silent. We were told after the massive 26% cut that things were stabilizing and we could finally 'focus on the mission,' but how are we supposed to focus when the ground keeps shifting underneath us? I’m currently looking at my team and wondering who is actually left to carry the load. The sheer amount of tribal knowledge that has walked out the door since 2023 is staggering. Does management honestly think we can just do more with less indefinitely? It’s not just the headcount; it’s the morale. I catch myself checking my calendar for random 1:1s with HR or managers I haven't spoken to in months. This isn't how anyone wants to build a career. If you were one of the ones impacted by the recent wave, I’m genuinely sorry. Hope the transition has been easier than expected.

The 'stabilization' line has become a recurring joke at this point. It’s impossible to ignore the morale drop when you’re constantly looking over your shoulder instead of working. Every time a new round hits, the trust in leadership erodes a bit more. I feel for everyone affected; it’s a brutal way to run a company. We all just want some actual transparency instead of the usual corporate fluff about focusing on the mission. Stay strong, keep your network active, and don't take it personally—it’s clearly a management issue.

I understand the exhaustion you're feeling. That constant state of flux is designed to keep everyone on edge, and it’s completely unsustainable. When you can’t look at your teammates without wondering who’s next, that’s a toxic environment, not a productive one. It’s time to stop waiting for the 'stabilization' they promised and start prioritizing your own peace of mind. Update that resume and remember that you’re just a number to them, no matter how hard you work. Take care of yourself first.
