Anyone else feeling the chill in the air at 3M? Especially corporate functions?

Been hearing a lot of rumblings lately, not just about the usual suspects in manufacturing or divisions that have been struggling. It feels like there's a general sense of unease spreading through the corporate offices – finance, HR, legal, even some of the back-office tech roles. Management is definitely talking about 'streamlining' and 'optimizing resources' way more than usual. It's that typical corporate speak that usually precedes something unpleasant. Saw a few internal job postings disappear overnight last week, which is weird. Just trying to gauge if this is a company-wide vibe or if I'm just picking up on noise. Anyone else in a non-operational role seeing or hearing anything concrete? Trying not to panic, but it's hard when the background chatter is so consistently negative.

Yeah, the vibe feels off lately. 'Streamlining' and 'optimizing' are definitely buzzwords I'm hearing a lot more around my department, which is usually pretty insulated. It's hard not to get a bit anxious when that kind of language starts popping up. Feels like more than just the usual seasonal slowdown, for sure.

I'm in one of those 'back-office tech roles' and can confirm the unease. We've been tasked with some 'efficiency reviews' that feel a bit... intense. It's hard to shake the feeling that something's brewing, especially with the increased focus on resource allocation. Definitely keeping my eyes and ears open.
