Dover: Anyone in engineering seeing a slowdown?

Specifically for those in the engineering or R&D side at Dover. Been a bit quieter than usual lately in terms of new project initiatives and some key personnel have been a bit cagey when asked about future roadmaps. Not necessarily layoffs, but it feels like a definite shift in pace. Budgets seem tighter, and approvals are taking longer. Is this a company-wide thing, or isolated to certain divisions? Curious if anyone else is experiencing this and if there's any internal buzz about potential headcount adjustments down the line. Trying to get ahead of any potential shifts and understand if this is just a seasonal lull or something more structural. Any info is appreciated, even if it's just a gut feeling.

Yeah, I'm definitely feeling a similar vibe here in the mechanical engineering department. It's like the brakes have been gently applied. Less urgency on new concepts, more focus on optimizing existing stuff. Conversations about Q4 and next year's big plays seem a bit muted, and getting budget sign-off for even minor equipment upgrades is turning into a marathon. Not alarming enough for panic stations, but it's a noticeable shift from the usual hustle. Wondering if it’s a strategic pause or something else.
