Rant: The constant re-orgs are killing morale!

Seriously, how many times have we been re-orged in the past two years? I'm in the Support org, and I swear, every six months we get shuffled around, new managers, new priorities, and then nobody remembers what we were even working on before. It's impossible to get anything done when the goalposts are constantly moving! I'm so tired of having to re-justify my existence every time the VP decides to shake things up. Honestly, it feels like they're just trying to avoid actually addressing the real problems. I used to love working here, but now it just feels like a constant state of chaos. I'm venting, I know, but I needed to get this off my chest. Anyone else feel the same?

I feel your pain. I'm on the engineering side, and it's the same story here. The constant shifting makes it nearly impossible to focus on long-term projects. The documentation is a mess and nobody knows who is responsible for what. Last year, our team spent 3 months migrating a service only to have the entire project canceled in the following re-org. Now we are doing something totally different. The worst part is that no one seems to understand or care that the re-orgs are hurting productivity. Management acts like it's totally normal!

While I understand the frustration with re-orgs, sometimes they are necessary. Maybe the old structure wasn't working, or maybe the company is pivoting to address market changes. Did your manager explain the reasoning behind the most recent re-org? Maybe if you understood the why, it would be easier to stomach the changes. Have you tried providing feedback to your leadership regarding the impact of these changes on your team? You should use Skip Level meetings to talk about it.
