Bio-Rad LSI - Layoff rumors circulating?

Okay, I've been hearing some chatter lately, and wanted to put it out there to see if anyone else is picking up on the same vibes. Specifically within the Life Sciences group. It's mostly whispers and 'heard from a friend' type stuff, but the theme seems to be around potential RIFs before the end of the year. Nothing concrete, no names, no departments explicitly mentioned, but the general feeling is that things might get dicey. Has anyone else heard this? Is this just the usual end-of-year anxiety kicking in, or is there something more substantial going on? I've been pretty happy here, but if there's a real risk of layoffs, I need to start preparing. Any intel, no matter how small, would be appreciated. Trying to separate the noise from potential reality. Let's keep this thread focused on actual information or shared experiences if possible.
