McKesson - Seeing less visibility on new project approvals?

Lately, it feels like getting new initiatives off the ground is way harder than it used to be. Usually, there's a buzz about what's coming next, but now approvals seem to be stalling, and there's a general hush-hush vibe. Anyone else in different departments noticing this? My team's been told to focus on 'optimizing existing resources' which sounds like code for 'don't ask for anything new.' It makes me wonder if budgets are getting squeezed tighter than we're being told, or if there's a shift in strategic priorities that's not being communicated clearly. It's a bit unsettling when you can't plan ahead because the ground keeps shifting beneath your feet. Curious to hear if others are experiencing this slowdown in project pipeline and what the perceived reasons might be.
