Resource allocation feels extremely tight across the board.

Been with Merck for a few years now, and I've never seen resource allocation feel this constrained. Projects that were previously well-funded are now facing constant scrutiny for every dollar spent. We're being asked to do more with less, and it's starting to impact timelines and deliverables. It's not just my department; I've heard similar grumblings from colleagues in other areas. Seems like there's a real push for extreme efficiency, but it's starting to feel unsustainable. Anyone else feeling this pressure cooker environment? Wondering if this is a precursor to something bigger, or just a new operational model we need to get used to.
