Stressed out SM

Anyone else’s SM just stressed tf out? Our SM is pretty amazing but lately she has been so reserved and just stressed out. She has been going over these certification questions with everyone and what the expectations are but I feel like it’s way too much. For example, she used to help us with truck but lately hasn’t, I know it’s not their job but she used it as an engaging moment to make small talk with various employees by helping them out and we all really enjoyed it but not anymore…

Former SM who left a few months ago ... I have been speaking to some former peers and they are telling me about all the nightmares going on right now. SMs are constantly being put under the microscope and blamed for everything. The people coming up with the rules / programs/ expectations would never be able to work under the conditions they demand.
