Seriously, what's the real deal with these office shutdowns?

Okay, so the official line is "temporary closure" and "preparing layoff notices" for corporate. But let's be real, this feels like more than just a standard HR process. Closing offices feels pretty drastic. I'm wondering what the actual trigger is. Is it performance, restructuring, a strategic shift, or a combination? It's making people nervous, and frankly, it's hard to focus when you don't know where things are heading. Anyone have any insights into the *why* behind this move? Beyond the immediate layoff news, what's the underlying strategy here? Are we pivoting, downsizing long-term, or is this a reaction to something specific? Just trying to make sense of it all.
