Paycom: Morale seems low, is it just me?

Hey all, been at Paycom for a few years now, and I'm starting to feel a definite dip in overall morale across my team and even some adjacent ones. It's subtle, but there's a lot more quiet quitting going on, less enthusiasm in meetings, and people seem more stressed than usual. Leadership is talking a lot about 'efficiency' and 'optimization,' which usually translates to more work for fewer people down the line. No official announcements or anything concrete, but the vibe is definitely changing. Is anyone else picking up on this? Just trying to gauge if this is a widespread feeling or if I'm just in a particularly rough patch. It's making it hard to stay motivated when you feel like the rug could be pulled out from under you at any moment, even without a formal layoff. Curious to hear what others are experiencing.

I've noticed a similar shift lately. The emphasis on 'efficiency' without clear support structures or additions to headcount definitely puts a strain on existing teams. It feels like we're expected to do more with less, and the lack of transparency about the 'why' behind these initiatives isn't helping morale. It's a tough environment when you're trying to stay motivated but feel the pressure mounting.

It's not just you. I've been hearing similar sentiments from colleagues in different departments. The constant buzz about optimization can be draining, especially when it feels like it leads to increased workloads and more scrutiny without the necessary resources. People are getting burnt out, and the overall enthusiasm has definitely taken a hit. Hoping for some positive changes soon.
