Anyone else feeling the chill at Affirm? What's going on?

Hey all, Been at Affirm for a couple of years now, and lately things just feel... off. It's not just me, right? I'm hearing whispers from different teams, and the general vibe in meetings is tense. Performance reviews just wrapped up, and while mine was decent, I know some folks didn't fare so well. The usual 'we're growing' narrative feels a bit hollow when you see headcount freezes in some departments and a general slowdown in hiring. Is anyone else in a similar boat? Are there any specific departments that seem more affected? I'm trying to get a sense of the broader picture and whether this is just a blip or something more systemic. Trying to stay positive and focused on my work, but the uncertainty is definitely creeping in. Curious to hear if others are seeing or hearing anything concrete, or if it's just the usual end-of-year jitters amplified by the current economic climate. Let's share what we're seeing (anonymously, of course).

Yeah, I've been feeling it too. It's like the energy shifted after the last earnings call. People are definitely more guarded, and there's a lot of speculation about what the performance reviews actually mean for the company's direction. The hiring freeze talk is definitely concerning, especially for those looking to move internally or join new teams.

Definitely not just you. The 'restructuring' buzzwords are flying around, and it's creating a lot of uncertainty. It's hard to ignore the disconnect between the public messaging and what's happening on the ground. Hope we get some clarity soon, because this kind of ambiguity is tough on morale.
