Anyone else feeling the pressure at Okta lately?

This is more of a rant, I guess. It's been a weird few months. Projects are getting re-prioritized constantly, budgets feel tighter than ever, and there's this general sense of uncertainty that wasn't really here before. I'm not going to speculate on specific numbers or departments, but the underlying tension is palpable. You can feel it in the all-hands meetings, the way leadership talks about 'efficiency' and 'streamlining.' It's the kind of language that usually precedes bad news. Just venting because it's hard to stay focused when you're constantly wondering what's next. Anyone else in a similar boat? Or am I just being overly paranoid? Would appreciate any insights, even if it's just to commiserate.

Yeah, I'm definitely feeling that shift too. It feels like every other week there's a new directive or a pivot that throws everything into disarray. The 'efficiency' talk is particularly concerning, it seems like a euphemism for cost-cutting measures that will impact day-to-day work. It's hard to plan or feel secure when the goalposts keep moving and the general vibe is one of apprehension. Hope things stabilize soon, this constant churn is exhausting and frankly, demoralizing for a lot of us just trying to do good work.
