Decide What to Do When You Hear About a Reorg via the Office Grapevine Before Your Manager Tells You

Someone in the kitchen mentioned a reorg is coming, your manager has said nothing, and you cannot tell if they are waiting for sign-off or have been told to keep quiet. This separates what you actually know from what you are guessing, weighs asking against waiting, and gives you the question to use if asking wins.

You have heard, through colleagues rather than any official channel, that a reorg affecting your team is coming. Your manager has not mentioned it yet, and you do not know if they know, are waiting for approval, or have been told to sit on it.

**Decide how to handle what you have heard:**
1. List what you actually know versus what you are assuming, separating fact from rumour
2. Weigh the options: ask your manager directly, wait for the official announcement, or quietly prepare without saying anything
3. Identify what could go wrong with each option, including the risk of putting your manager in an awkward spot
4. Recommend one option, with the reasoning
