Is anyone actually safe at MGM right now?

Honestly, at this point, does anyone feel secure in their seat? Between the constant chatter about restructuring and these massive layoff waves hitting different properties, it feels like the company is just throwing darts at a map to see where to cut costs next. I’m in a 'corporate-adjacent' role and every time my Slack dings, my stomach drops. We’re all just numbers on a spreadsheet to them, regardless of how many years we’ve put into the properties. I’ve started updating my resume on the down-low because I refuse to be caught off guard if the axe falls on my department next. Is there any transparency from leadership at all? Seems like they keep pushing the ‘we’re in this together’ narrative while simultaneously dropping 1,500 people in one go. It’s exhausting trying to keep up morale when the ground is constantly shifting underneath us. Anyone else scouting for exit opportunities, or am I just being paranoid?

I’ve been watching the situation unfold from the sidelines and it’s honestly grim. You’re definitely not alone in that feeling. When management starts prioritizing the bottom line over the people who actually keep the floors running, the culture inevitably tanks. It’s reached a point where the loyalty they expect just isn't being reciprocated. Honestly, updating your resume is the smartest move you can make right now. Don't wait for the axe to fall before you start testing the waters elsewhere. There is absolutely no harm in having an exit strategy when the environment feels this unstable.

Stop waiting for things to stabilize because the reality is that the current strategy is purely reactionary. I worked for them for years and saw the exact same pattern—it’s always about the numbers on the quarterly reports rather than the human element. The uncertainty is draining, and it’s meant to keep everyone off balance. Just focus on your own professional trajectory and keep your eyes open for opportunities outside of the company. It’s better to leave on your own terms while you still have control of the narrative than to be caught off guard by a surprise reduction in force.
