My department has been told the goal is to “run out of work,” and that we should not be concerned with this. Today we “ran out of work.” Concerned?

That is what they call "the writing is on the wall"
@b3 I think I just trained my own offshore replacement. FML.
Plenty of teams here with no work for years, it all depends on your VPs+ connection n ability to keep the funding flowing. My team of 50+ is doing the work of 5-10 peoples for year's. You'll be ok
@OP be very concerned
Easier with RIF if team has no inventory
@b2 yep. Training our replacements
@a2 it was definitely sent offshore. They are still hiring and training them. We are here until they are up and running on their own.
Welcome to the club....The technology I support is obsolete and I have spent the last 2 year spinning it down...next month it will be done..nothing new in my career...but every other time I was the one deploying the replacement...not here
Lmao, yes the goal to present your team as a cost savings to meet the 2026 2027 cost reduction goals.
We are a project team with no projects so obviously the team is being cut. It tells me not only is the pipleline of work gone, but so will the team we support.
I think the manager saying you are running out of work is their hint that your team is being eliminated. Start appyling now, don't wait for your notice 5/28.
Managers can't say outright that people are about to be eliminated, but some give you the tea leaves to read so you are prepared.
Yeah, this obviously does not smell right. They are just trying to reduce the impact of what is to come. This manager is not being straight with you at all.
@a2 I actually pray for this. I’m tired of the back and forth and uncertainty here. Give me my severance and let me go elsewhere
I would not expect you to survive the 5/28 layoffs. Sounds like your inventory was either automated, offloaded to a global team or just eliminated somehow.
