I've noticed a similar vibe. The 'streamlining' talk has been going around my department too, and the silence from upper management on the actual details is deafening. It's creating a lot of anxiety, especially when workloads are increasing but headcount feels like it's shrinking. Performance feedback last cycle was definitely more critical than usual, and not always constructive. Hoping it's just a temporary phase.
Definitely feeling the tension you're describing. Our project timelines seem to be getting tighter, and there's been a noticeable push for 'synergy' across different business units, which often translates to people doing more with less. The lack of transparency is the most concerning part; usually, even with tough times, there's *some* communication. This quiet uncertainty is a tough environment to work in.
