San Diego ServiceNow: Anyone else seeing increased workload post-layoffs?

Just trying to get a pulse on how others in the San Diego office are feeling after the recent 63-person layoff. Personally, I've noticed my team's workload has ramped up significantly. We're scrambling to cover the gaps, and the pressure is definitely on. It feels like we lost some really critical people, and now the rest of us are expected to just absorb it all. Has anyone else experienced this? Are managers communicating at all about how they plan to handle the redistributed work, or are we just expected to power through? It's starting to feel unsustainable and honestly, a bit demoralizing. Wondering if this is a widespread issue across other departments or if it's just our corner of the ServiceNow world.

This is a pretty common scenario after significant workforce reductions. Unfortunately, it often falls on the remaining team members to pick up the slack. Hopefully, management will acknowledge the increased burden and offer support, whether through additional resources, reprioritization of tasks, or even future hiring. It's a tough time for everyone involved, and open communication is key to navigating these changes effectively.

I can only imagine how stressful that must be. When critical roles are eliminated, the impact on team capacity is immediate and undeniable. It's essential that leadership provides clarity on how the work will be managed moving forward. Without a clear plan, morale can plummet, and burnout becomes a serious risk. Hopefully, your managers are actively addressing these concerns and working to find sustainable solutions.
