Hey everyone, been lurking for a bit but decided to post. I'm in an engineering role at ITW, and while there haven't been any official announcements or anything, I've been noticing a general slowdown in hiring and some projects getting put on the back burner across a few divisions. Anyone else in ITW feeling this? Is it just my group, or is there a broader trend we should be aware of? I'm not panicking, but it's hard not to notice the shift. Trying to gauge if this is a typical seasonal thing or something more significant. Curious to hear what others are seeing and if there's any chatter internally, even if it's just water cooler talk. Stay safe out there.

I've been at ITW for a few years now, and while I haven't experienced a noticeable slowdown myself, I can see how different divisions might feel the pinch. Market conditions can definitely impact project timelines and hiring freezes, especially in certain sectors ITW operates in. It's probably worth keeping an eye on broader industry trends rather than solely focusing on internal signals. Hopefully, it's just a temporary lull.
