I am overwhelmed more than ever. Working a ton. Some others say that they have almost no work to do and that work has slowed down.

looking "busy" will do nothing to save you from a layoff. The big man just looks at reports and decides who goes and who stays. All goes by how long you worked here and how much you make a hour.If your wage or salary is way higher than others doing the same job, your more than likely going to go. They can hire a replacement for cheaper, and new employee will have less vacation time as well. So keep working hard and looking busy, but in reality, it does nothing to save your job.
That is because layoffs are coming. Some people are busy doing busy work because they think it will save them from the fall layoffs... like this isnt known.
Very hit & miss. Times there's too much to possibly do, other times we're inventing things to look busy for metrics.
