The "Transformation" is just a fancy word for keeping us in the dark until we’re obsolete

Is anyone actually buying the "Agile Operating Model" nonsense anymore? Because from where I’m sitting, it looks like a smoke machine designed to hide the fact that leadership has no idea how to pivot post-COVID. I’m tired of the town halls. You stand there in your tailored suits, dropping buzzwords about "synergies" and "streamlining," while the rest of us are left guessing if our team even exists next quarter. We’re treated like variables in a spreadsheet, not the people who actually hit the clinical milestones you brag about to shareholders. The lack of transparency is insulting. You tell us we’re "valued," then restructure the entire department via a cryptic email blast on a Friday afternoon. If you’re cutting headcount to fix the stock price, just say it. Stop wrapping these layoffs in the ribbon of "organizational evolution." My inbox is flooded with generic gratitude, but my project pipeline is a ghost town. Tell us the truth: are we building medicine, or just trimming fat to make the balance sheet look pretty?
