   My suggestion would be take the one item that seems very tangible and ask to understand a little more - this would be the "org structure" conversation that you referenced. I think it would make complete sense to ask a few questions, try to remain objective and ask questions - I like the phrase "Asking for clarity, not confrontation..." if you are getting the sense that the group is going on the defense. I think it's important that you gain a clear understanding of why that plan was presented and if that is something that is being discussed as a potential option.

   I think once you have that conversation, you will have more insight and hopefully more clarity to drive additional conversations.

   The other thing that I think is always good to do, is have regular check-ins with your manager ensuring you have a clear understanding of the current objectives / priorities and how they align to the broader department or organization-wide goals and vision. It is always important to stay aligned to doing the work that is driving the necessary results to meet business need. Again, simply asking questions and for clarification and how your work and your team's work aligns to the company goals is always a great idea.

   Hope this is helpful and good luck!
