Southern Company: Survival Mode or Just a Slowdown?

Is it just me, or does the vibe at Southern Company feel pretty subdued right now? We're past the major holiday season, and usually, things pick up momentum by now, but it feels like we're still in a holding pattern. Budgets seem incredibly tight, and any non-essential spending is getting a serious grilling. I've heard a few people mention that project scopes are being reduced or put on indefinite hold. It's making it hard to feel motivated when you're not sure what's next, or if your current work will even matter in a few months. Feels like a lot of people are just doing the bare minimum to avoid drawing attention. Anyone else experiencing this prolonged lull and wondering what the long-term implications are?
