Baxter - Quiet on the layoff front, but is anyone else feeling the unease?

Hey everyone, Been seeing a lot of chatter across various companies about layoffs, and while there's nothing concrete on Baxter's end that I've heard of, I can't shake this feeling of 'when' rather than 'if'. The general economic climate, rising interest rates, and the healthcare sector not being entirely immune to these pressures... it all adds up. I've noticed some subtle shifts in my department. Project scopes seem a little tighter, budgets are being scrutinized more than usual, and there's a general air of 'wait and see'. It's not panic mode, but it's definitely a low hum of anxiety. Has anyone else picked up on similar vibes? Maybe there's some internal memo or a recent analyst report I missed that's fueling this, or maybe it's just the collective mood of the industry seeping in. Curious to hear if others are feeling this or if I'm just overthinking things. Stay safe out there. Anyone else seeing budget cuts or hiring freezes creeping in?

I'm with you on the unease. It's that quiet before the storm feeling. While there haven't been any official announcements, the whispers and the general industry slowdown are definitely making me nervous. I've also observed some increased budget scrutiny in my area, which usually points to tighter controls. Hoping for the best, but preparing for potential changes.

Totally get the vibe. The broader economic headwinds are hard to ignore, even if Baxter seems relatively stable on the surface. I've been trying to stay informed, but the lack of clear communication adds to the anxiety. Let's hope this feeling is just nerves and not a sign of things to come for us.
