Is the 'One Zoetis' strategy just code for downsizing?

Been with the company for a while, and honestly, the messaging from leadership lately feels completely disconnected from the reality on the ground. We keep hearing about how strong our portfolio is, but then we get a wave of 70 layoffs in NJ. It’s impossible to plan your career path when the rug gets pulled out every few months. Are we actually growing or are we just trying to pad the margins for shareholders by thinning out the workforce? The lack of transparency regarding future reorganization is what’s killing morale the most. You see great people leaving because they’d rather exit on their own terms than wait for the next WARN notice. Anyone else feeling like the growth phase is officially behind us?

It is frustrating to see the disconnect between the corporate narrative and the actual experience in the office. They sell 'One Zoetis' as this collaborative, unified future, but it feels like the focus is purely on trimming the fat to keep stock prices steady for quarterly reports. When you see talent being cut while management talks about growth, it signals that the human element of the company has become an afterthought. It is hard to stay motivated when you realize your role is just a line item that can be erased to make the margins look slightly better.

Honestly, the 'One Zoetis' mantra has felt like a red flag for a while now. Every time they double down on that rhetoric, we seem to get another round of layoffs or restructuring. It has created a culture of constant anxiety where nobody feels secure enough to focus on long-term projects anymore. If the company were truly as strong as they claim in the town halls, they wouldn't need to keep thinning out the ranks in New Jersey to satisfy investors. Transparency is clearly missing here, and the silence from the top just makes the lack of stability even more obvious.
