I'm feeling a similar uncertainty. My project timelines have been a little fluid, and there's a general sense of 'heads down' work that feels different from our usual collaborative energy. I haven't heard anything concrete, but the quietness you mentioned is definitely noticeable. Performance reviews are indeed around the corner, which always adds a layer of introspection to the current mood. It's hard not to scan for patterns when the atmosphere shifts, even subtly.
I can relate to the feeling of unease. While my direct team hasn't shown obvious signs, I've noticed a dip in external hiring discussions and fewer new project pitches landing recently. It makes you wonder if resources are being quietly reallocated or if there's a general holding pattern. The performance review timing is also a good point – it often brings these kinds of underlying anxieties to the surface for everyone.
