That’s a really difficult position to be in, and it’s completely understandable that everyone is feeling uneasy. When leadership isn’t transparent or... communication slows down, it creates anxiety — especially when contracts and benefits are hanging in the balance.

My advice:
- Document everything — keep records of all communications, notices, and timelines related to the restructuring.
- Ask for written clarification — a professional but direct email to HR or management requesting an update on contract renewals and insurance coverage is reasonable.
- Stay prepared — update your résumé, LinkedIn, and explore other opportunities in case changes happen suddenly.
- Protect your well-being — uncertainty takes a toll, so focus on what you can control daily while staying alert for updates.

Even though it feels unfair now, stay calm and professional — transitions like this often reveal new opportunities, either within or outside the organization. more

Check if they were sold

This is the normal way by bad leadership does in dealing with complement review or improving productivity. If you have been working with this... employer your qualifications are not issue unless your performance is. Look at how your company has been performing over a couple of years; if the trend is positive management may know what they are up to, if negative, they are in panic mode. The delay is speaking volumes and legally you have no claim on the redesigned role. So, start looking and get serious at it. more

In times of silence and uncertainty, clarity becomes your responsibility. While the company may claim the restructure is for your benefit, the lack... of communication, expired insurance, and looming contract deadlines suggest otherwise. You owe it to yourself—and those who depend on you—to prepare for every outcome. Keep showing up professionally, but quietly begin securing your options: update your resume, reconnect with your network, and explore opportunities that value transparency and stability. “Hope is not a strategy.” If leadership won’t clarify your future, take steps to define it yourself. more

Successful reorganizations require regular communication with employees regarding goals, landmarks, progress, structural and procedural changes,... support for those displaced, provisions for continuity in services and recruitment and training for those taking on new roles. Transparency is essential. Lack of attention to such matters and lack of transparency doesn't bode well for the future of the organization. If your evaluation of the process this far suggests "crash landing" ahead, get your parachute packed. more

Sounds like what is happening at your company is out of your control, but what is within your control is starting to look elsewhere and having a... backup plan. more
