Hearing whispers... is Q1 going to be rough for IBM?

Hey everyone, been seeing a lot of chatter online and hearing some concerning murmurs internally, though nothing concrete has been announced. Seems like other big tech companies are making moves, and the general sentiment is that IBM might not be immune. I work in the consulting division, and my manager has been unusually tight-lipped about upcoming projects and headcount. Usually, we're looking at a busy pipeline, but lately, it feels like things are on pause. A few colleagues from other departments have mentioned their teams are being 'optimized' or undergoing 'restructuring,' which never sounds good. I'm trying not to panic, but the lack of clear communication is really unsettling. Has anyone else in different IBM divisions picked up on anything similar? Or am I just reading too much into the general tech downturn news? Trying to stay positive but also mentally prepare for the worst. Any insights would be appreciated.
