Anyone else noticing the calendar purge?

It feels like every week another recurring meeting I’ve had for years just vanishes without a trace. My manager isn't sending out agendas anymore, and when we do hop on a call, it’s strictly five minutes of 'what are your deliverables for the week' before they drop. There’s zero talk about long-term projects or Q3 roadmaps. I’ve been through a few cycles at Moody’s and this quiet withdrawal is usually the prelude to a calendar invite for a 'business update' that ends in a box of personal belongings. Is the guidance actually coming from the top, or is management just as clueless as the rest of us? The silence in the office is becoming deafening.

I've been tracking these same signs for the last month. The sudden disappearance of recurring touchpoints is a classic hallmark of internal restructuring here. It’s not just you—there’s a noticeable shift toward short-term task tracking rather than actual strategy. When communication narrows down to just deliverables, it usually means the leadership team is clearing the deck to make way for a formal reduction in force. Start backing up your personal files and documenting your wins now, because once those vague 'business update' invites start hitting your inbox, it is already too late to prepare.

Honestly, I wouldn't panic just yet, but definitely keep your head on a swivel. Management often cycles through phases of extreme micro-management when they're under pressure to cut costs or pivot, and the focus on immediate deliverables over long-term roadmaps suggests they're likely under a mandate to tighten up output before the next review cycle. It’s definitely an uncomfortable atmosphere, but it’s part of the rhythm here when budget targets aren't being met. Stay quiet, get your assigned tasks done, and keep your network warm outside of the firm just in case things take a turn for the worse.
