The 'efficiency' excuse is always the go-to line when leadership wants to inflate margins at the expense of people who built this place. Watching them frame mass layoffs as a 'digital-first' pivot is honestly insulting to those of us who put in the actual labor. It’s clear the focus is entirely on shareholder value now rather than the talent that keeps the wheels turning. I’m sorry you had to witness that atmosphere today; it sounds absolutely brutal.
Six years of dedication gone in a single morning, just like that. This corporate spin about 'efficiency' doesn't make the hallways any less empty or the loss of institutional knowledge any less damaging. They keep pushing these broad, clinical restructurings, but they never seem to account for the impact on team morale or productivity. If you're still there, stay safe and keep your head down. It’s a cold reminder that for them, it’s always just been about the bottom line.
