Signs that your company is heading for retrenchment

by Norman Aziz·October 17, 2025

Sudden cost freeze. C-suite changes. Reduced budgets mid-quarter. Consultants hired to review headcount. More 'town halls' with less transparency. Start updating your CV, this is not paranoia.

The sudden cost freeze is the clearest signal because it is immediate and company-wide. Do not ignore it.

Started updating my CV a week after the town hall. Got out before the retrenchment was announced. Timing is everything.
