Okta - Feeling the pinch, anyone else?

Okay, so I haven't seen any official announcements, but things feel... off. My team has been under a lot of pressure to hit aggressive targets, and there's been a noticeable slowdown in hiring for any roles that aren't absolutely critical. Plus, I've noticed a few people on other teams quietly updating their LinkedIn profiles or suddenly becoming very interested in networking. It's the unspoken stuff that gets you, right? Like when you see heads of departments suddenly going silent on Slack or team meetings being canceled last minute without much explanation. It makes you wonder if budgets are being tightened or if some strategic pivots are happening behind closed doors that might lead to headcount adjustments. Anyone else in a similar boat, or am I just overthinking things based on past experiences? Trying to get a sense if this is an Okta-specific thing or just the general tech climate.

Yeah, I'm picking up on similar vibes. The 'quiet tightening' feels real. Been noticing more people dusting off their resumes and attending industry meetups, which is usually a sign. Performance reviews seem to be getting more scrutiny too. It's definitely a bit unsettling when the rumor mill starts churning, and it feels like there's more than just idle chatter this time around. Hoping it's just a seasonal thing, but it's hard not to worry.

Definitely feeling the pressure too. The 'aggressive targets' comment really hit home. It feels like we're being asked to do more with less, and the general atmosphere has changed. I've also seen a few familiar faces pop up on LinkedIn job boards recently. It makes you wonder what's really going on behind the scenes, especially when official communications are sparse. It's that uneasy quiet that makes you scan the horizon.
