Baxter - Any departments feeling the squeeze lately?

Hey everyone, has anyone else in the Baxter ecosystem picked up on some subtle but noticeable changes recently? I'm not talking about any official announcements or anything concrete, but more like a general tightening of the belt. Things that used to be approved more freely seem to require more hoops to jump through. Travel budgets seem tighter, and some project funding feels a bit shaky. It's making me a little antsy, wondering if this is just standard Q3/Q4 planning or something more significant brewing under the surface. Curious if anyone else is in a similar boat or has heard any whispers from their specific teams. Trying to get a general vibe check here. Stay safe out there.

I've definitely noticed a shift as well. It feels like there's more scrutiny on expenses across the board. What used to be a straightforward approval now involves multiple sign-offs and justifications. It's not just travel; even smaller office supply requests seem to be under a microscope. It makes you wonder if there are broader financial headwinds the company is bracing for, or if it's just a seasonal adjustment to resource allocation. Hopefully, it's a temporary phase and things loosen up soon.
