Am I being paranoid or is it actually getting quiet?

Been here about 3 years, in the software dev side for R2. Lately, it feels like the usual internal project buzz has really died down. Fewer all-hands updates, my manager seems less communicative about future roadmaps, and I swear the usual Slack channels are less active. Usually, this time of year is pretty hectic gearing up for the next sprint cycle, but it feels... stagnant. Is anyone else on the engineering side noticing this? Could just be me, but it feels different.

I hear you. I've been here a bit longer, and yeah, things can feel a little muted sometimes. It could be a natural lull, or maybe they're consolidating efforts before a big push. Don't jump to conclusions just yet. Try organizing a casual coffee chat with your team lead or a few trusted colleagues to get a pulse check. Sometimes just talking it out helps, and you might find others are feeling the same way, which can clarify things.

Hmm, 'stagnant' is a strong word. Are you sure it's not just a shift in priorities? The R2 timeline is pretty ambitious, and sometimes the internal chatter dies down when the focus gets laser-sharp on execution rather than broad updates. Maybe ask your manager for a quick 1:1 specifically about your team's immediate sprint goals and how they fit into the bigger picture, even if the roadmap isn't fully fleshed out. It's better than letting the silence breed speculation.
