Has anyone else's team been hit harder than others?

Hey all, saw the news about the recent cuts. Pretty grim. I'm in the [Specific Business Unit, e.g., Fabric Care] division, and it feels like my whole department got decimated. We're talking people who've been here 5-10 years, solid performers, gone. Meanwhile, other teams seem relatively untouched. Is this just my perception, or is anyone else seeing a pattern? Feels like they're targeting specific functions or maybe even specific projects. Curious if anyone has intel on what the criteria might have been. My manager was pretty tight-lipped, just said it was 'strategic realignment.' Doesn't feel very strategic when you're losing decades of institutional knowledge.

This sounds incredibly rough. I'm not in your specific unit, but I've heard whispers that some areas are definitely feeling more of the axe than others. It's hard not to speculate when you see colleagues who were doing great work suddenly gone. Management often says it's about strategic realignment, but it feels deeply personal when it's your team. Hang in there, and I hope you and your colleagues find new opportunities quickly.

Honestly, I'm not sure I'd call it 'targeting' so much as necessary but painful business decisions. Restructuring happens, and sometimes it hits certain departments harder based on market trends or future strategy. It's easy to see patterns when you're in the middle of it, but from a higher level, the criteria might be about long-term viability rather than individual performance. It's a tough pill to swallow, no doubt.
