Lam Research - Anyone else feeling the squeeze?

Hey everyone, posting anonymously here. Been at Lam for a few years now, and lately, the vibe feels… tense. No official word, but projects are getting shelved, hiring freezes seem to be in effect for most non-critical roles, and folks are being extra careful about what they say. I'm seeing a lot of 'quiet quitting' happening, and honestly, I get it. The market's been brutal for the semiconductor industry, and while Lam's always seemed pretty stable, you can't help but wonder if we're next on the chopping block. Anyone else in a similar boat? Seeing any patterns or hearing whispers that aren't just general market anxiety? Trying to gauge if this is a company-wide thing or just my department feeling the heat. Been keeping my resume updated just in case, but hoping it doesn't come to that.

Yeah, I'm definitely feeling that unease too. It's like a storm brewing, and everyone's bracing for impact. You can cut the tension with a knife in the hallways. Used to be you could joke around, but now people are walking on eggshells. Hoping it blows over quickly, but the signs aren't exactly encouraging right now. Stay strong out there.

Totally get where you're coming from. It’s unnerving when the atmosphere shifts so dramatically. The quiet quitting is understandable; people are looking out for themselves when leadership seems unsure. We’ve seen cycles before, but this feels different. Wishing for some clear communication and a brighter outlook soon, but for now, it’s about navigating the uncertainty.
