Got hit yesterday by that beserker in Change Management arsenal - the Surprise Reorganisation. I came off fairly lightly, retaining all my existing team, but I got hit with an extra Manager. Yes, it seems that people who actually do anything are becoming such a scarce commodity that there aren't enough of them to go around. The Senior Management are thus required to share subordinates.
I am told this is referred to as a Matrix reporting structure. I may not have read that particular management text, but I have seen the movie, and trust me, it doesn't end well for most of the real people.
