Yeah, I've noticed it too. Performance reviews definitely felt like a bigger deal than usual, and the expense scrutiny has ramped up noticeably. It's the little things, like fewer team lunches and people being more hesitant to book any kind of travel, that add to the feeling. It’s hard to put a finger on it, but the general sense is that budgets are tightening and there's a bit more pressure to perform. Hoping it's just a cyclical thing and not indicative of bigger issues down the line.
I'm with you on the unease. The whispers about restructuring are definitely circulating, even if no one has concrete information. It's creating a lot of speculation and a bit of anxiety, as you can imagine. The increased focus on reviews and expense management could be standard year-end procedures, but combined with the rumors, it certainly fuels the concern that something might be shifting. Just hoping for some clear communication soon to ease the uncertainty for everyone involved.
