Same at my company. We're a small BU at a large multi-national, very flat whereas most of the other BUs ave lots of overhead - they fill lots of DI-type jobs with these folks.

Biggest issue is corporate expects us to produce the same Power BI type of output with deep slide decks for corporate level meetings with no extra resources. Our BU just got an award for best financial performance within the corporation yet no one ever asked how - we've been busting butt for long time, making and selling product instead of making higher-ups feel important while our CEO goes on MSNBC shows spouting off about how the DI crap is making the company so much better. Lots of created make-work.

I'm no right-wing nut. My co-workers could be the UN - but we don't care about that; we just do our jobs - we're good at it and making things cheaper and easier.

So glad I retire in less than 2 years. I checked quite a while ago. Been building my side hustle so once I go I'll be good. I do feel for those who I'll leave behind - it'll only get worse and less work will get done. M hope is they persevere.
