I've definitely noticed a shift too. The urgency seems to be ratcheted up on a lot of projects, and there's a palpable sense of needing to be 'on' all the time. It's not just you. I'm chalking some of it up to the current market conditions impacting fertilizer demand and pricing, which inevitably trickles down. Management seems to be pushing for efficiency gains, which can create that anxious atmosphere. Hope things ease up soon.
Interesting you bring this up. While I haven't felt a personal surge in pressure, I've observed the same quietening effect in team discussions. It's less about overt signs and more about the absence of usual interactions. Perhaps it's a sign of deeper strategic shifts we're not privy to yet, or maybe just a collective mirroring of external uncertainties. I'm trying to focus on delivering my best work, but the underlying tension is definitely there for others to feel.
