Just want to put this out there to see if anyone else is in a similar boat. I'm not hearing about specific layoffs at Hershey, but the broader consumer goods market seems to be facing some significant headwinds. Inflation, changing consumer spending habits, supply chain issues - it all adds up. As someone working within the company, I'm naturally curious about how these macro trends might be impacting us internally. Are we seeing any slowdowns in hiring, project freezes, or increased pressure on performance metrics? It's more of a general curiosity about the company's resilience and strategic positioning in this environment. Curious to hear if anyone has a read on the internal pulse regarding the current economic climate and its potential long-term effects on the workforce.

I'm definitely seeing the same trends across CPG. It feels like a challenging environment with consumers tightening their belts. While I haven't heard anything specific to Hershey, the general sentiment in the industry is one of caution. Companies are re-evaluating budgets and looking for efficiencies. It's a tough balancing act between navigating these headwinds and maintaining growth. Curious to hear more about any internal observations from folks within Hershey itself as well.
