Re-org without sharing any details

I was just informed that my role - along with several other roles on our team - are shifting to include new and/or different responsibilities. Several of us have new direct reports as well.
Management only communicated this to us in a conversation, and explicitly said that they will not be distributing a new org chart, job descriptions, or other communication via email. This is creating a lot of unnecessary internal confusion. Any insight on why an organization would do this? We have a new team lead starting in a few weeks… So is this really just a trial run until the new leader can create a permanent shake up? |

Wow that sounds shady.
Why wouldn't they just wait until the team lead comes in? |

| They are riffing people as part of the reorg and don't want leaks before that. If you are told you have a role be thankful. |

| Op here: it’s a small team of 15. No one was rif’d. |

| Because they are about to lay off some people. |

| That is areally small group. Maybe the new lead just has a different vision for the structure of the work. |

Are you a federal employee? This is happening at my agency. Nothing in writing but people are being moved into new jobs. It’s very sketchy. The individuals moved have no say and they aren’t allowed to move into other positions so are stuck unless they quit. Talented people are leaving because of this.
Normally reorganizations require congressional approval which is why this is being done in a sketchy way. |

| Something similar is happening at my organization (not USG.) It's a shitshow, but it is all just insanely poor leadership, NOT a RIF. I hope that is true for your situation OP. |
