Yeah, I'm picking up on it too, though I'm in a different division. Definitely seeing more project pivots and a general feeling of 'hunker down.' The constant re-evaluations are making long-term planning feel a bit dicey. Seems like the focus has shifted from rapid expansion to consolidating what we have and making it run leaner. Not necessarily bad, but it's a noticeable change in pace and priorities.
Interesting to hear others feel it. My team has been hearing a lot about 'strategic alignment' and 'resource optimization' lately. It does feel like there's less appetite for speculative projects and more pressure to demonstrate immediate ROI. Hiring has definitely been slower on our end too, with a lot more scrutiny on headcount requests. It's a shift from the growth-oriented mindset of a couple of years ago.
