The world is wacky right now. Normal patterns of behavior have been disrupted by 2 years of lockdowns. Some people are spending out of spite. Some people are not even leaving the house. There's a certain levity about work - no one seems to be taking it seriously.

Strange times. Really hard to capture in data. Only increases possibilities of a major economic catastrophe because the tea leaves are just too hard to read right now.

Where do you work? For the two companies I've worked at during this period I would not use the term "levity".
