Does anyone actually know who holds the map anymore?

I’m staring at my utilization dashboard and it feels like reading tea leaves in a hurricane. Three weeks ago, my lead was talking about a massive ramp-up for a North American financial services client. Today, I’m being told to "remain flexible" and prioritize internal training modules because the project scope is "under internal review." Is it a hiring freeze? A quiet pivot? Are we just shuffling deck chairs while the billable hours evaporate? The lack of clarity is rotting my focus. Every time I get a ping from a Managing Director, my pulse spikes. I’m tired of reading these glossy town hall slides that talk about "agility" and "future-readiness" while my bench status feels like a slow-motion countdown. I just want to know if I’m building a career here or just waiting for the next round of "organizational alignment" to decide if I still have a badge access by Friday. Is anyone else feeling this vertigo, or am I just the only one losing sleep over the silence?
