I don’t know if they put it into practice, but I think they did because the same thing is happening to me and close colleagues to whom I’ve been talking to about this.
There has always been micromanagement, but now it is even greater.
There was always a lot of work, but now it is too much.
Communication seems to be intentionally poor.
There are a lot of things that make me think they want me to leave on my own, so they don’t have to pay me the severance.

@gou+1bm8i44k, good advice. That reminds me of what they say if you don't like Texas weather. Just wait 5 minutes and it will change.
Been there... if you want to stay and can bear it, wait it out. Stick around for 5 minutes and your manager (and/or their manager) will change.
Agree with @xxm+1bm8i44k. Everyone seems to be in a bad place across the Bank these days. Also, not exactly hearing it's better any where else just now.
Don't read too much into this, everybody is stressed out. Your immediate mgr. is probably not fit to manage and sends the wrong signals. He/she can't communicate clearly, can't motivate anybody and doesn't have the vision where the department/division is going. Ask his/her boss or two levels up what's up, you might get some flack but at least you have some peace of mind. Relax, smile and go about your day. Que sera, sera. Oh, just update your resume and start looking, just in case I was wrong...
