Hey everyone, been at ICE for a few years now and lately, the general vibe just feels... off. It's hard to pinpoint exactly what's changed, but there's a definite undercurrent of unease. People seem more guarded in meetings, less collaborative than usual. I've also noticed a lot more 'heads down' working, with fewer spontaneous chats or team lunches. Is it just me, or has anyone else picked up on a shift in morale? Maybe it's related to the general market conditions, or perhaps something more specific to ICE that I'm missing. Would be curious to hear if others are experiencing something similar or have any insights.

Yeah, I've been feeling it too. It's like there's a constant pressure to perform, and any little hiccup gets magnified. The drive for efficiency seems to be overshadowing everything else, and it's starting to wear people down. I miss the days when we could actually take a breath and enjoy the work. Now it feels like a race to the finish line, with no real celebration at the end. Hopefully, things will pick up soon, but I'm not holding my breath.
