Gen Digital - Seeing unusual activity in recent project approvals?

Hey everyone, I'm relatively new here but have been at Gen for a couple of years. Lately, I've noticed a significant slowdown in new project approvals and even some existing ones are being put on hold or significantly scaled back. My manager's been pretty cagey about the reasons, just vague mentions of 'strategic realignment' and 'optimizing resources.' It's starting to feel like more than just typical budget cycles. Has anyone else picked up on this? Is this tied to the broader tech downturn or something more specific to Gen's internal strategy? Trying to gauge if this is a widespread feeling or if I'm just overthinking things.

Yeah, I've definitely felt a chill on project approvals lately. It's not just you. Seems like everything requires more layers of sign-off and the timelines are stretching out considerably. 'Strategic realignment' is the buzzword we're all hearing too, which is frustrating when you're trying to get initiatives off the ground. Hoping it's a temporary phase, but it's making planning quite difficult.

I haven't seen a formal slowdown, but there's a definite tension in the air. Resources feel tighter, and there's a lot more scrutiny on ROI for any new proposals. We were told to focus on 'core competencies' and 'efficiency gains.' It could be the wider economic climate affecting everyone, or maybe there's a specific internal shift we're not privy to yet. It's definitely a topic of much water cooler discussion.
