Change is the only constant. In the past six years the departments I have been in have been reorganized no fewer than ten times, with changes in management structure and purpose. With each new shift, a new goal or mission would emerge, but all of the departments seemed to be working in silos. The company has gone global but the various teams are not working together to keep the company a whole unit - rather we are segmented and the lines of communication are often broken. Massive pushes for opex reductions from the top also contribute to the confusion at the bottom, when mid-tier execs decide that headcount reductions are the easiest way to go without considering that: a) at some point you will cut too much talent and break the business, and b) constantly leaving your employees in a state of fear completely inhibits productivity.
