Does anyone else feel like they’re just waiting for the next shoe to drop in the surgical business unit?

I keep staring at the empty desks in our department, and it’s making it impossible to focus on the Q3 targets. Before the layoffs, there was a rhythm to how we handled the vascular access integration, but now? It’s just silence and frantic Slack pings. Management keeps talking about “streamlining for efficiency,” but all I see are people I’ve worked with for years being erased from the directory overnight. I’m spending half my day doing my actual job and the other half trying to figure out if I’m next on the chopping block because my manager hasn't looked me in the eye for three days. Is this really it? We’re supposed to be driving innovation in interventional med-tech, but I feel like I’m just holding my breath, waiting for a calendar invite that’s actually a pink slip. How are you guys surviving the quiet? I’m exhausted from pretending like the "new direction" isn't just a slow collapse. Are we pivoting, or are we just bleeding out?
