Been with Dow for a few years now, and lately, the vibe feels a bit… tense. It's not overt, but there's a general sense of uncertainty. Project scopes seem to be shifting, and there's a lot of talk about 'efficiency' and 'streamlining operations'. Doesn't necessarily mean layoffs, but it's making me nervous about job security. We haven't had any official announcements, and my direct manager is tight-lipped, just saying 'business as usual'. But you hear things, you see how other companies are behaving... it's hard to ignore. Anyone else feeling this undercurrent? Is this just the current economic climate affecting everyone, or is there something specific happening within Dow that people are hesitant to discuss openly? Curious if others are starting to update resumes or just riding it out.

I've noticed similar rumblings at other large chemical companies lately. The industry is definitely going through a period of adjustment, with a lot of focus on optimizing resources. It’s understandable to feel uneasy when things are in flux, especially without clear communication. Hopefully, it's just a standard business cycle and not something more serious. Keep an eye on industry news and network with others to get a broader perspective.
