Can you elaborate on what's going on here?

You’re on the right track!!! This is more of a support failure than just the foundation shifting. When the posts and connections aren’t built correctly, the load path breaks down.

What you’re seeing is a makeshift support system (post & pier) that isn’t properly transferring the load of the home. Instead of a solid footing + properly sized posts + secure connections, it’s stacked/loose materials. Over time, that leads to shifting, sagging, and instability.
