Post-layoff morale is at an all-time low

Is it just me, or does it feel like Visa is just shifting the deck chairs on the Titanic? Following the cuts on the 10th, the workload has been dumped on the few of us left behind without any real plan or strategy shift. Management keeps talking about 'streamlining' and 'focus,' but it’s really just code for expecting us to do two jobs for the same salary. I honestly don't see the long-term vision here anymore. A lot of the talent that left this week was the institutional knowledge we actually needed to keep the legacy systems running. Now, we’re just expected to pick up the slack while holding our breath for the next round. If you’re still here, I highly recommend updating your portfolio and reaching out to your network now. Don't wait for them to decide your future for you. This place doesn't feel like the safe fintech bet it used to be. Has anyone else heard rumors about further cuts coming in September?

The 'streamlining' narrative is getting old fast. We all see right through it. It's impossible to maintain any level of quality when you're effectively running on a skeleton crew. Leadership keeps pushing these high-level buzzwords, but they ignore the fact that the actual execution is crumbling under the weight of the work. If they keep burning through the remaining staff like this, there won't be anyone left to hold the ship together. It feels like they're burning the furniture to keep the office warm for one more quarter.

I’m in the same boat. It's demoralizing watching capable colleagues get pushed out while the expectation remains that we’ll somehow fill the gap. There is absolutely no acknowledgment of the reality on the ground. Instead of a strategic pivot, it feels like we are just reacting to panic in the boardroom. It’s hard to stay invested in the long-term vision when the immediate environment feels so unstable. I’ve started looking elsewhere because it’s clear that 'efficiency' is the only thing management cares about right now, regardless of the cost to us.
