Hey all, been at CFG for a few years now and lately things feel... different. Not sure if it's just my department or a wider thing. We've had a few key people leave recently, and their roles haven't been backfilled. Instead, the rest of us are picking up the slack. My workload has easily doubled in the last six months, and it feels like we're constantly being asked to do more with less. Management keeps talking about "efficiency" and "streamlining," but it's starting to feel like a euphemism for something else. Anyone else in a similar boat? Seeing any other signs that might indicate upcoming changes, either positive or negative? Trying to gauge the general sentiment out there.

I'm in a different division, but I'm hearing similar rumblings about increased workloads and a lack of backfilling positions. It feels like there's a general sense of being stretched thin across the board. The 'efficiency' talk definitely resonates – it seems to be the buzzword for handling more with fewer resources. Hopefully, it's a temporary phase and not a sign of deeper issues.

Yeah, that sentiment is definitely not isolated. In my experience, when key people start leaving and their work gets absorbed without new hires, it's a red flag. The 'efficiency' narrative often precedes significant restructuring or budget cuts. It's tough to stay motivated when you're constantly doing the work of two people. Keep an eye on how this plays out, especially with any upcoming earnings reports.
