I’m right there with you. The 'flatter' narrative is just corporate speak for 'more work for less pay.' I’ve been feeling that same shift in expectations lately, and it’s exhausting. It’s hard to stay motivated when you’re constantly juggling double the load while watching talented people get pushed out. The culture that made this place special really feels like it’s eroding in favor of pure efficiency metrics.
It is honestly surreal how quickly the environment has shifted. Those buzzwords start to lose their meaning when you’re staring at a mounting backlog that used to be handled by a whole team. I know a lot of us are looking around the room—or the screen—wondering who is next. It’s definitely time to tighten up the resume and start putting some feelers out, because this pace isn't sustainable long-term.
