Anyone else feeling super uneasy right now?

I'm in TMT, been here for almost 5 years now. I know the markets are… the markets. But the vibe has been totally off lately. More meetings about 'efficiency' and 'resource allocation' than I can count. My skip-level has been unusually chatty, asking about my 'long-term goals' which I know is HR speak for 'brush up that resume'. Anyone else feeling the same tension? Or am I just being paranoid?

Definitely not just you. I'm in a different division, but hearing similar rumblings. Increased scrutiny on expenses, projects getting shelved, and a general sense of 'wait and see'. The 'long-term goals' conversation is a classic red flag. Start networking internally and externally. Doesn't hurt to be prepared. Good luck.

Eh, every few years there's a wave of anxiety. 5 years is a good run, but not exactly unheard of. I remember back in '08 people were saying the same thing. Sometimes it's just noise. Focus on delivering results. If you're a top performer, you're probably safe. If not...well, maybe start prepping that resume anyway.
