I keep in touch with my manager outside of work from time to time. We generally don't discuss work-related items, but this time he/she felt the need to communicate something to me out of courtesy. There is a big reorg on the horizon. It was also mentioned that the company is missing the mark as far as earnings and new hires go. There are apparently discussions happening way up high as to how best to address the situation; from experience, I'm guessing HR will pull the same old "let's shuffle a bunch of people around to mask the mass-layoffs that are about to occur and nobody will notice".
Always apply skepticism here - especially to HR's damage control replies that will inevitably roll in after this is posted.
