Rumblings about Discover - Anyone hearing anything concrete?

Hey everyone, I've been seeing some chatter online, particularly about Capital One's involvement and potential impacts at Discover. Nothing official from our end, of course, but the increased noise is definitely making people antsy. My team's been unusually quiet on new projects lately, and there's a bit of an 'on edge' feeling in the air. Lots of 'wait and see' mentality. I've tried to catch wind through informal chats, but everyone seems to be in the same boat – hearing whispers but nothing solid. Has anyone else picked up on anything more specific? Any managers dropping hints, or perhaps increased emphasis on 'efficiency' that feels like more than just typical business speak? Trying to gauge the temperature here and figure out if it's just general market anxiety or if there's something more targeted brewing at Discover. Appreciate any insights, even if it's just observations from your own departments.
