63 people cut in Lancaster - anyone else hearing rumors?

Just saw the WARN notice for the Lancaster site regarding the 63 layoffs that went through at the end of January. Honestly, it’s frustrating how quiet leadership has been about the overall health of the consumer business. We’ve been hearing a lot of 'efficiency' buzzwords in the all-hands, but nobody ever actually says if more cuts are coming down the pipeline. I’ve been here for a few years and the culture has really shifted. It used to feel like a stable place to build a career, but now every quarter feels like we’re waiting for the other shoe to drop. My team is currently understaffed and stressed to the max, and now we’re just looking over our shoulders wondering who’s next. Is there any visibility into whether this is just a PA-specific restructuring or if headquarters is planning a broader reduction in force for the spring? Would appreciate any info from anyone who has insight into the current trajectory. Stay safe out there, everyone.

The shift in culture is definitely real. It’s hard to trust the ‘efficiency’ talk when people are getting hit with WARN notices without any heads-up. Everyone is walking on eggshells now, waiting for the other shoe to drop. It used to be a place where you felt secure enough to plan long-term, but that sense of stability has completely evaporated over the last couple of years. When leadership stays silent, it just fuels the rumor mill and kills whatever morale is left. They need to stop with the corporate jargon and be transparent about what’s actually happening.

I was at the Lancaster site when the news broke, and the vibe is just heavy right now. Those of us left are mostly just looking over our shoulders, wondering if our department is next on the list. I’ve noticed the same trend—constant buzzwords about streamlining operations, but absolutely zero clarity on the actual roadmap. It’s draining to put in the effort when you’re constantly questioning if you’ll have a desk next month. I’m starting to look at other options because this ‘new normal’ at C&D just isn’t sustainable for anyone looking for a career rather than a temporary gig.
