Middle management looking over their shoulders

Is it just me, or is the atmosphere in the office becoming toxic? Ever since the 119 headcount reduction dropped, leadership has been pushing this ‘operational excellence’ narrative like we aren’t all just waiting for the next shoe to drop. My manager keeps scheduling these 1:1s that feel less like check-ins and more like data gathering to see who is ‘essential.’ I’ve been with Southern for over a decade, and I’ve never seen the morale this low. People aren’t collaborating anymore; they’re just hoarding documentation and trying to make themselves look indispensable. If you’re in one of the support functions, has anyone actually given you a straight answer about the long-term headcount strategy? It feels like we’re being hollowed out from the inside while they focus all the remaining budget on the big capital projects. I’m starting to update my resume because I don’t trust that this is the end of the cuts. It’s hard to focus on a deliverable when you feel like your role could be consolidated into a software script by next quarter.
