Regular "pivots" by management often mean that the work you've invested in becomes meaningless without warning. Many of the higher ups seem so overwhelmed with work that often projects, people, etc. will fall through the large cracks. This is just the price of doing business.
There was a moment during the Obama administration when it appeared that eHealth would become a major player in connecting people to health insurance. However, that all fell apart as Obamacare suffered its own problems. The company has been in a downward spiral with no clear direction out.
eHealth has been in a steady decline for years, and management's poor communication and handling of its employees causes the remaining few to flee a sinking ship.
The design department lost both its director and most senior designer about 7 months ago, with a steady stream of followers since, as management has failed magnificently to either find new design leadership or communicate plans for the future with current employees.
While some tried to see management's approach as merely oblivious and neglectful, most have now decided that it is purposefully meant to encourage the old guard to quit in order to avoid paying severance. Since about 70% of the design team has now left, my advice to any new hires would be to keep your resume up to date, as you may need it again soon!
