Amgen - Layoff Watch: Any signs I'm missing?

Hey everyone, been seeing a lot of chatter on other company subreddits and general biotech news lately, and it's got me a bit on edge about Amgen. No official word or anything, and my direct manager hasn't said a peep, but the overall industry sentiment feels… uncertain? Anyone else getting a weird vibe or noticing anything subtle? Like maybe hiring freezes that weren't announced, or projects getting quietly shelved? I'm in R&D, so maybe things look different elsewhere in the company. Just trying to get a pulse check before I start updating the resume unnecessarily. Trying to stay calm but also be prepared. Let me know if you've heard anything, however small.

Yeah, I've definitely noticed a general tightening across the board in biotech lately. While Amgen is a huge player and generally more stable than smaller biotechs, even large companies can feel the ripple effects of market shifts or internal strategic adjustments. Haven't heard any specific rumors about layoffs, but subtle signs like slower onboarding for new hires or a more cautious approach to budget approvals could indicate a slowdown in certain areas. It's smart to be observant, but try not to stress too much without concrete information. Hope your R&D team is still humming along!
