I've definitely noticed a shift too. It feels like there's more pressure to hit metrics without the necessary resources. The 'doing more with less' mantra is becoming exhausting, and it's impacting team cohesion. Hoping it's a temporary phase and not indicative of a larger downturn, but it's hard not to feel the increased stress and uncertainty.
Yeah, my store has been feeling it too. Customer traffic is up, but staffing hasn't kept pace, leading to overwhelmed associates and longer wait times. The focus on efficiency sometimes feels like it's at the expense of employee well-being and the overall customer experience. It's definitely creating a more strained atmosphere than usual.
