The 'operational efficiency' buzzwords are the classic precursor to the next round of layoffs. I’ve been through this cycle a few times, and whenever management starts dancing around project roadmaps, it’s because those projects won't exist in a few months. If your manager is acting evasive, they definitely know more than they're letting on. Start cleaning up your resume and networking outside the company immediately; don't wait for the official email to start looking for a parachute.
Honestly, take the hint and start preparing. The Houston office has felt like a ghost town for weeks, and the WARN notices are just the public confirmation of what we've all been feeling. If leadership is pivoting to 'resource realignment' while giving you non-answers about next year, they’re already trimming the fat. It’s better to have your options open before the severance packages get finalized. Good luck, hope you land something stable soon.
