Restructuring solves nothing, breaks plenty. Vacancies never get filled, teams just get more stretched and bitter.
And they always cut the wrong people. Not that the rest of us are useless. We're not. But without fail, they boot the one person who actually mattered - the skilled one, the experienced one, the glue who kept the team from falling apart. Every single time.
It boggles the mind, really. Especially when you see the same pattern repeating itself for so many years.
It’s the same plot every year.. restructure, lose the one person who knew how things actually worked, then act surprised when everything breaks. Somewhere there’s a control room watching this and saying, ‘Perfect. Now cut the one comlpetent person for dramatic tension.’
Most likely a threat to someone’s friend. I’m one of the guys who tried to be the glue be transparent. A sound of reason. Some people don’t want to work and are naturally spiteful. They are all around.

Ten years here, and this is what sticks with me:

this is the only final result
things break down or collapse
I was the experienced one booted and now no one knows what they are doing. I am now working my magic for another payer employer. I say sc--w exxon. Let the catastrophe happen.
if you view it more like a government agency, it makes more sense
there are 2 competitions going on, internal (between employees) and external (between companies)
if your company is going to be around a long time, most of the competition is internal
then it is in your best interest to remove strong competitors to yourself to protect your job and possible promotions
