Cintas: Are managers suddenly all over project timelines and ROI?

Lately, it feels like every single project, no matter how small, is under intense scrutiny. My manager, who usually trusts us to manage our deliverables, is suddenly asking for daily updates on project timelines and demanding detailed ROI calculations for even minor initiatives. There's also a lot more emphasis on 'efficiency' and 'streamlining' processes, which often translates to more work for fewer people. It feels like there's a top-down push to cut costs and maximize output, and it's making things pretty stressful. Anyone else experiencing this heightened level of oversight on projects and productivity?
