Yeah, I've been feeling it too, though it's hard to pinpoint exactly. The focus on metrics and justifications feels more intense than usual. It's like there's an underlying current of wanting to prove value across the board, which can create a weird atmosphere even if individual performance isn't suffering. Glad to hear I'm not the only one sensing a change.
Definitely a shift in the air. My team has also been hearing a lot more about 'strategic alignment' and 'demonstrating ROI'. While efficiency is always good, the constant emphasis on justification feels like a response to broader market pressures or internal shifts. It's certainly making things feel more scrutinized than before. Hope it's just a temporary phase.
