Is anyone else feeling the pressure to 'do more with less'?

Lately, it feels like every conversation, from team meetings to department-wide emails, is circling back to 'efficiency' and 'optimization.' It's not just about doing our jobs anymore, it's about doing them with fewer resources, less budget, and often, more scrutiny. I've noticed project scopes being tightened, and new initiatives seem to be facing a much higher bar for approval. It's creating a sense of anxiety because it feels like a precursor to something bigger, even though there's no official word. Anyone else experiencing this same vibe? Are your managers pushing these narratives too? Just trying to gauge if this is a widespread feeling or if it's just my corner of the company.
