Anyone else feeling the pressure or hearing whispers?

0x7f73…4468Been at Nvidia for a few years now, primarily in hardware engineering. Lately, the vibe has been a bit... tense. Not in a way that screams immediate layoffs, but there's a definite undercurrent of 'belt-tightening.' We've had more all-hands meetings lately, and while the official message is about 'optimizing resources' and 'focusing on core priorities,' it feels like code for something else. Jensen's recent comments about AI not being an excuse for layoffs have been circulating internally, and honestly, it's confusing. On one hand, it's reassuring that leadership is pushing back against using the tech itself as a scapegoat. But on the other, if it's not AI, what *is* the reason we're seeing this heightened scrutiny on costs and performance? Some teams seem to be hiring freezes, while others are still actively recruiting. It's a mixed bag, and the uncertainty is starting to get to people. Anyone else picking up on this, or am I just overthinking it?
