I feel you. I'm in marketing, and we've definitely felt a similar tightening of the belt. The "do more with less" mantra is being chanted daily. We lost a project last month because the budget was suddenly slashed, even though it was projected to bring in significant leads. It's unsettling when things shift like this, especially with the lack of clear communication. Makes it hard to plan or even feel secure.
Honestly, companies go through phases. Five years is a long time. They probably just hired a new consultant who's pushing for optimization. Or maybe they're trying to boost numbers before an earnings call. I'd say, keep your head down, focus on your work, and try not to overthink it. If you're really worried, start updating your resume, just in case. But panicking won't help anything.
