Carrier - Headcount reduction rumors intensifying. What's the word on the street?

0x1cd8…e6e5Just wanted to start a thread because the chatter is getting louder. I've heard from a couple of different sources, not just within my immediate group, that there might be a significant headcount reduction planned for Carrier sometime in the next quarter or two. It's not a confirmed layoff announcement or anything official, but the consistency of the rumors is making me nervous.
Some people are saying it's tied to the PGT divestiture fallout, others are linking it to broader economic headwinds affecting the HVAC and building automation sectors. Regardless of the 'why,' the 'what' seems to be pointing towards job cuts. I'm in [mention a general department like Engineering/Operations/Sales] and we've already seen some natural attrition and 'voluntary' departures that haven't been backfilled. It feels like they might be using that as a precursor to a more formal reduction.
Has anyone heard anything more concrete? Any specific departments or roles rumored to be more affected? Trying to gauge the potential scale and if this is just a minor adjustment or a major overhaul. Would appreciate any non-speculative insights if anyone has them.
