The current trend at my company is that the top leadership keeps stating that folks are cruising, sitting on their laurels and just not adding value.

Are other companies having this same type of conversation? It’s disheartening because I keep thinking I’m going above and beyond.

Is this just normal “recession talk” and a way to weed people out?

It's gear mongering to get you to do more for less and a sign that the company isn't doing well. When leaders start having emotional breakdowns like this and deflating responsibility, it is a warning to get your resume ready and begin interviewing.

That’s very interesting that you brought this up because I was wondering why I wasn’t getting acknowledgement for all this work I’ve been doing. I also feel I have gone above and beyond, and doing triple the work from before, but not feeling like I’m getting any appreciation … it’s very strange to me but it could be recession talk. No budget so set the expectation for raises and bonuses low…
