Why do companies that are undergoing a restructuring hiring for roles when they likely will be cut? Like I’m seeing a ton of people who were hired a month ago being let go when I feel like the organizations leadership likely knew many of these roles wouldn’t last through the restructuring.

Leaders don't communicate the impending reorgs to ppl who control the budget for hires. The most stringent control you'll usually see is all new job reqs have to be reviewed by a senior leader who's in the know.

That control is surprisingly rarely implemented though.

Bureaucracy. Departments have approvals for roles and haven’t yet received notice of requirements to cut. Collateral damage

Also still worth building pipeline of talent

I haven’t heard from her and it’s been 24 hours - starting to get worried. What should I do? Does this mean they’re not interested?
