Lilly - Anyone else feeling the pressure?

The atmosphere here at Lilly feels…different lately. Not outright panic, but there's definitely an undercurrent of anxiety. Performance reviews just wrapped up, and the messaging around 'efficiency' and 'strategic alignment' feels a bit heavy. I haven't seen any official layoff notices, and my team is still plugging away, but I can't shake the feeling that something's brewing. Is anyone else experiencing this? Are you seeing budget cuts, slower project approvals, or a general slowdown in new initiatives? Would love to hear if others are feeling this squeeze or if it's just my perception. Just trying to gauge if this is a company-wide thing or isolated to certain areas.

Yeah, I've noticed it too. The constant talk about 'optimizing resources' and 'streamlining processes' has definitely ramped up. It's hard to ignore when managers are emphasizing these points in every meeting. While things haven't changed drastically for my specific projects yet, the general feeling is a bit tense. Makes you wonder about the long-term strategy and if everyone's role is truly secure, even without explicit news.

I can relate. The 'efficiency' push feels like it's coming from higher up. Seems like every department is being asked to justify its existence and demonstrate clear value. I've heard whispers about slower hiring and more scrutiny on travel expenses. It's a bit unnerving, to be honest. Hopefully, it's just a standard business cycle adjustment, but the messaging is certainly making people a bit edgy.
