Lumen: Feeling the squeeze - anyone else?
53
0x532e…653dHey everyone. Been with Lumen for a while now, and lately, it just feels like things are really tightening up. I'm not talking about an official layoff announcement or anything like that, but the vibe is just… off. Budgets seem slashed everywhere, projects are being put on hold or scaled back significantly, and there's a general sense of 'doing more with less' that's becoming unsustainable. My team is already stretched thin, and now we're being asked to absorb responsibilities from other areas that are reportedly shrinking. It's not just me, either. I've overheard conversations and had chats with people in other departments, and they're feeling it too. It feels like a slow bleed rather than a sudden cut. Is anyone else experiencing this? Wondering if this is a company-wide thing or if I'm just in a particularly rough spot. Concerned about job security, even without official news.
