Interesting post. I've noticed some odd chatter myself, though nothing concrete. My sense is that with the shifts in demand for some of their core products, it wouldn't be surprising if they were looking to streamline operations. It's tough when companies go through these periods; creates a lot of uncertainty for employees. Hopefully, any changes are handled with transparency and support for those affected.
I'm hearing similar murmurs. It's definitely the talk of the breakroom in a few areas I have contacts in. The 'optimization' buzzwords are flying, which usually means headcount adjustments are on the table, even if not explicitly stated yet. The market is unpredictable, and GLW has a lot of fingers in many pies. Pruning underperforming or less strategic segments to focus resources makes business sense, though the human cost is always a concern.
