I've definitely felt a shift too. It's like the air got heavier, and there's less willingness to brainstorm or try new things. The performance reviews seem to have gotten a lot more granular, focusing on metrics that feel a bit disconnected from the bigger picture. Hoping it's just a temporary phase and not a sign of deeper issues. Seems like everyone's walking on eggshells a bit more.
I hear you. That sense of uncertainty is definitely present. It feels like the company is tightening its belt, and that translates to more pressure on deliverables and less room for error. The focus on 'essential' tasks is a good point; it feels like anything outside that narrow scope is being deprioritized. I'm trying to stay positive, but it's tough when the atmosphere feels so tense.
