I've definitely noticed a shift too. It's subtle, but the energy feels different. Budget talks seem more intense, and there's less chatter about expansion plans than there was even six months ago. Makes you wonder if leadership is getting nervous about something bigger than just typical economic cycles. I'm not panicking, but keeping an eye on things and updating my resume wouldn't hurt.
Yeah, that 'quietness' is real. Used to be you'd hear about new projects starting up all the time, but now it feels like everything's on hold. My department's been told to prioritize existing commitments and defer any non-essential work. It's understandable with the broader market, but it does make you feel a bit uneasy about long-term stability. Just trying to focus on my current role, but the whispers are hard to ignore.
