Anyone else feeling the pressure at Generac lately?

Been hearing a lot of whispers around my department (engineering, been here about 5 years). Seems like budgets are being squeezed everywhere. My manager is being super cagey about upcoming projects, and there was a weird all-hands last week where leadership was all smiles but seemed to be dodging direct questions about headcount. My direct team hasn't seen any cuts yet, but the general vibe is just... tense. Like we're all waiting for the other shoe to drop. Anyone else in manufacturing or product development seeing similar things? Or is it just my section of the company? Trying to get a sense if this is widespread or if I should be updating my resume just in case.

I'm in manufacturing, second shift, and yeah, the mood is definitely off. We haven't had any layoffs on the floor directly, but overtime has been cut way back, and there's a palpable sense of 'hurry up and finish this' without any real explanation for why. Upper management seems to be doing their best to keep things quiet, but you can feel the nervousness trickling down. It’s hard to stay motivated when you feel like you're on shaky ground, even if nothing's happened yet. Just trying to keep my head down and do good work.

Honestly, I'm not feeling it as much in my department. We're in supply chain, and while things are definitely tight everywhere, my manager hasn't indicated any major shifts for us. Maybe it's department-specific? Or perhaps the 'whispers' are just that – rumors that gain momentum because people *expect* something to happen in tough economic times. Leadership might be cagey simply because they don't have concrete answers yet, not necessarily because something dire is imminent. Keep an eye on the actual numbers, not just the office gossip.
