Quiet period or just the calm before the storm?

Is anyone else getting weird vibes lately? I’ve been with Mosaic for a few years now, and the communication from leadership feels more guarded than usual. It’s not just the market conditions—we’re seeing the usual tightening on travel budgets and contractor renewals, but there’s a persistent lack of clarity during the recent town halls. Every time someone asks about the headcount strategy for Q3 and Q4, the response is basically just a boilerplate 'we are monitoring the landscape.' We’ve been through cycles like this before where it stays quiet until suddenly the HR calendar invites go out on a Thursday morning. I’m starting to update my resume just in case, but curious if anyone else on the floor has picked up on anything specific or if I’m just reading too much into the silence.

I’ve noticed the exact same thing. It feels like they’re waiting for the other shoe to drop before they say anything concrete. Every time I bring up the Q4 roadmap with my lead, I get the same vague corporate speak. It’s draining to work in this environment where you can feel the instability, but nobody is willing to look you in the eye and explain what the actual plan is. If they’re planning a RIF, they need to rip the bandage off already so we can stop wasting energy guessing.

Honestly, you’re just reading the writing on the wall. I’ve seen this playbook at three different companies before. The 'monitoring the landscape' line is management's way of buying time while they finalize the severance packages and shift resources. Don't waste your breath at town halls expecting transparency. Use this lull to update your resume and start networking quietly. If the silence is this heavy, it’s usually because the leadership team is already looking for the exits themselves.
