Your company announced a shiny new transformation, set to herald a new era of possibility. But a few weeks in, it's starting to feel a lot more like a top-down cost-cutting exercise with a nicer label—and people are afraid that speaking up will put a target on their back. Sound familiar?
In this mini episode, Rodney and Sam respond to a listener caught in the middle of it all: working with the consultants, reporting to senior leaders, and hearing directly from employees who aren't buying the official story. They unpack why "transformation" means different things to different buyers, why RIFs aren't always the villain, and how the gap between stated goals and actual behavior erodes trust faster than any layoff.
