When we go through periods of change, it's like, well, what's my role in this?

Was I part of it?

And they won't tell anyone else necessarily, but inside we know whether we're part of it.

And then the negative side of it, the uncertainty, some people will be questioning the organization's direction.

Did they make the right call, the wrong call?

You question your own security.

Will I be here?

How long will I be here?

Do they rate me?

Energy can be really challenged because there'll be lots of reviews.

There'll be lots of reflection.
