Uncertainty creeping in at CAT?

Been at CAT for a while now, and usually, the atmosphere is pretty stable. Lately, though, I've been getting a weird feeling. Not seeing any official announcements or anything, but there's a definite undercurrent of uncertainty. Projects seem to be shifting, some deadlines are being pushed, and there's just… less communication than usual. Is it just me, or are others feeling this? Maybe it's the broader economic climate affecting demand, or perhaps internal restructuring. Just want to know if I'm overthinking it or if others are picking up on similar signals. Curious to hear what people are hearing or experiencing, even if it's just gut feelings.

I've noticed similar shifts recently. There's a bit of a buzz about potential changes, but nothing concrete has been shared. Deadlines do seem a little more fluid than they used to be, and collaboration feels a touch more fragmented. It could definitely be tied to the wider market and how that impacts manufacturing orders and resource allocation. Hopefully, we get some clarity soon so everyone can get back to feeling confident about where things are headed.

You're not alone in feeling that. The usual steadiness has been replaced by a subtle tension. It's more than just the usual project juggling; there's a sense of something bigger brewing beneath the surface. I'm wondering if it's a strategic pivot in response to new industry trends or perhaps a response to the global economic landscape. Either way, the lack of transparency is making things a bit unnerving for many of us.
