Anyone else's workload suddenly... lighter?

Okay, I'm in manufacturing and things have been... weird. Like, *noticeably* less busy this past week. My usual firehose of tasks has slowed to a trickle. I'm not complaining about less work, but it's making me super anxious. I've been here almost 3 years and this feels different from the usual end-of-quarter lull. Anyone else experiencing this in their department? Trying to gauge if it's just my little corner of the org or something bigger brewing...

I'm in engineering and feel you. It's not *dead* here, but the usual sense of urgency has definitely dialed back. I've noticed a lot more people actually taking their lunch breaks. My gut says something's up. I'd recommend quietly updating your resume, just in case. Hope I'm wrong, but being prepared never hurts.

Hmm, I'm in logistics and honestly, things are about the same. Maybe a *hair* slower, but within the usual monthly variance. Remember that period last year when everyone panicked about the battery supply chain and it turned out to be a minor blip? Could be something similar. Try not to overthink it unless it becomes a sustained trend.
