I am just sharing my observations since we have been back after layoffs hoping to see if others have the same observations or not and hoping that some one from HR or leaders see this.
Since we have been back from layoffs, everything seems very chaotic and dramatic. Suddenly every manager I our team is minor managing to its fullest. Roles and responsibilities are not clear and I have teammates frequently cross boundaries and step on each other's toes. Teammate who have been getting along for the past few years are Suddenly at each other's throat, going back and forth to complain about each other and stab each other. A simple taks that takes half a brain to fulfill Suddenly involves 16 people! You breath wrong and it causes drama! You look at someone wrong? Drama. You say something someone over hears? Drama.. You say sky is blue, someone is triggered and more drama! What is going on? 😳 I want to know is it only my observation and my team or is it just because people are now nervous and try to outperform and be over active? 🤔

@1bwf+1sunHI5w OP here. I am not in NSRL
Are you by chance in NSRL? Because you just described NSRL!
The clueless cronies running this place have destroyed it beyond repair. Not only did they fire a lot of great people but they poisoned the well for those left behind. Nobody trusts anyone because we know in order to survive we have to watch out for ourselves and nobody else. We all now fully know that performance means NOTHING. Great job JD and the rest of you clueless mo--ns.
@ynd+1sunHI5w OP here. Thanks for your feedback. I really appreciate this. You might be right. I wanted to speak my thoughts here so if it is not true, I would be confronted. Yes agree that paranoia is like a virus...
Guessing you are in GC by the way you write. People are looking for signs from everyone around them knows something they don't, and are reading signs that likely don't mean what they think they do, since it's just others paranoia getting passed back and forth in a feedback loop. Try to have more open conversations that aren't about work, lunch breaks, whatever, and don't stress what others are thinking. It's like a mind virus.
That is exactly what is going on in my org. I wonder if we are in the same group?
