Citizens Bank - Anyone else noticing changes in project scope?

Been at Citizens for a few years now, and lately, it feels like the goalposts are constantly moving. We'll get a project greenlit, resources allocated, and then a few weeks/months in, the scope gets drastically cut back or re-prioritized. It's not just my team either, I'm hearing similar stories from other departments. Feels like there's a lot of uncertainty about where the business is heading, or at least what's important right now. Makes it tough to stay motivated when you feel like you're constantly chasing a moving target, or worse, that the work you're doing might not matter in the long run. Anyone else experiencing this kind of project churn?

I've definitely experienced this, especially over the last year. It's incredibly frustrating to invest time and energy into something only to have it drastically altered or shelved. It makes planning and execution a nightmare, and frankly, it's starting to erode confidence in leadership's direction. Hoping for more stability soon.

Same here. It feels like a constant state of flux, and it's hard to maintain momentum when priorities keep shifting. I've noticed it impacts morale significantly across different teams. If there's a genuine strategic shift, better communication about the 'why' would at least help us understand and adapt, rather than feeling blindsided.
