Is the Edge actually crumbling, or is it just my anxiety?

I keep staring at the org chart for my division, and it feels like watching a game of Jenga where the blocks are people. Ever since the shift toward the new security-first narrative, the town halls have become these polished, hollow performances. They drop words like "streamlining" and "strategic realignment," but they never actually tell us which segment of the Edge infrastructure is next on the chopping block. I’m sitting at my desk—well, at my kitchen table—constantly refreshing internal comms, waiting for the other shoe to drop. Am I still part of the core mission, or am I just a line item they’re waiting to trim before the next quarterly readout? The lack of straight answers is worse than a layoff notice. At least a notice is a finish line. This? This is just walking through fog, waiting to hit a wall. Does anyone actually know the roadmap, or are we all just pretending the foundation isn't shifting under our feet? I’m exhausted by the guesswork.
