Feeling the burnout? TRP culture shift

Is it just me, or has the atmosphere at T. Rowe Price become significantly more tense over the last few months? Since the December layoffs, the 'do more with less' mantra has reached an exhausting level. It feels like we are constantly being asked to pick up the slack for open roles that aren't being backfilled. I get that the market environment is tough and asset management is feeling the squeeze, but the current pace is completely unsustainable. I’m seeing some of our best talent quietly updating their LinkedIn profiles, and frankly, I don't blame them. The communication from leadership is all corporate speak about 'strategic alignment,' but in the trenches, it just feels like we’re being squeezed until something breaks. Has anyone actually seen a clear roadmap for how we’re supposed to handle these increased workloads, or are we just supposed to accept that this is the new normal until headcount starts to normalize again? I’m genuinely curious if others are hitting this wall or if I’m just feeling the mid-winter slump harder than everyone else.

It’s definitely not just you. The vibe in the office has shifted from collaborative to purely transactional. The 'do more with less' mantra is just corporate speak for burning out the loyal employees who are still here. I’ve noticed the same exodus of talent—people who have been here for years are finally deciding that no paycheck is worth their mental health. Management seems to be banking on the remaining staff to keep the lights on without replacing the headcount, but the math just doesn't work long-term. Something is going to break soon.
