Lack of Support in Professional, Emotional and Extreme vulnerability challenges. - werkgeversreview agility engineering bij WEX

Our team experienced a layoff during a time of great vulnerability, which amplified feelings of uncertainty and detachment. The process was handled in an impersonal manner, with cameras turned off and key leadership absent, making it even more difficult to process the situation. At the time, some team members were facing personal challenges, yet there was no consideration for their ability to engage in the conversation. The restructuring was abrupt, eliminating certain roles while others remained, creating confusion and a lack of clarity about the decision-making process. The previously defined structure and goals lost their meaning, leaving the team feeling disconnected and without direction. The absence of transparent communication and leadership presence during such a significant transition made it even harder to navigate the change.
