Yeah, I've definitely felt that pressure too. Metrics seem to be the main focus, and there's a lot more talk about efficiency gains and output numbers than usual. Our manager is really pushing us to hit those targets, which is fine, but it does create a bit of stress when you're already stretched thin. Hopefully, it's just standard end-of-year stuff and not a precursor to anything bigger.
My department's also feeling the heat. We've had several meetings dedicated solely to project timelines and performance metrics, with a lot of emphasis on 'optimization.' It's strange because business hasn't seemed to drastically change, but the scrutiny is definitely up. Trying not to jump to conclusions, but it's hard not to wonder what's driving this increased focus.
