I can't ask locally. Little to no real answers provided. Say you work in a site that is closing. You come into work and see big & expensive piles of ports to attach to your current work equipment. This doesn't add up. OK, the site is closing and everyone will be displaced. But the company is investing in these ports. If someone asks, the response they get is "oh, it's for a future project". But yet, hello, YOUR site has NO future. Then a couple of hours later, you get an introduction email introducing a brand new site leader. Still thinking this is strange as well for the inevitable shutdown of your office. The new site leader might very well be from another country. Could it be this "future project" means the site really isn't closing? If this new site leader is possibly from another country, Americans will still lose their careers and be replaced with more workers from other countries? I don't mean that in any negative way. Serious replies would be most appreciated. My critical thinking only leads me to this scenario being the only logical possibility. TIA.

Would love to know OP if this is about Innslake site in Glen Allen VA because this describes the situation there as well. Just waiting for the last of the skeleton crew there to get pink slips.
There are so many projects, there is no way to coordinate between low-level decisions and higher things like site consolidations. In my area I hear all the time that systems are going to be decommissioned “next month” while asking me not to work on those systems. Most of the time those timelines push, so it’s silly not to go ahead with my work - may seem like a waste to some, but it works out

Tech refreshes still happen until a site is closed.
Ports. Big expensive piles of ports.
You see one thing at work, and go run off and post on the internet spreading sh-t that there is a conspiracy.
That's how the dum--ss brain works.
If you would have simply asked around, you probably would have received the answer.

That's what they were being referred to the staff installing them.
