Automotive slowdown impacting MCHP?

Okay, so the headlines are pretty stark about Microchip cutting jobs due to automotive demand. This is obviously worrying if you're on the automotive side of things, or even adjacent. Is anyone at Microchip experiencing this directly? Are teams being restructured, or are there actual people being let go? I haven't seen any internal comms addressing this, which is a bit odd if it's true. Curious to hear from folks on the ground if this is a real thing happening now, or if it's just market speculation. Trying to understand the actual impact versus the noise. If it is happening, what's the general sentiment among those affected or those remaining?

It's understandable why there's concern, especially with the automotive sector facing headwinds. Without official internal communication, speculation can run wild. However, often these market shifts lead to internal reallocations or shifts in project focus rather than outright widespread layoffs. Companies often try to manage talent internally before resorting to cuts. It might be worth observing hiring trends and project pipelines within MCHP over the next quarter to get a clearer picture of how they're navigating this.

I've heard whispers too, but haven't seen anything concrete internally that confirms significant layoffs tied directly to the automotive slowdown. It's possible that any adjustments are more localized to specific product lines or teams that are heavily exposed to that segment. Companies are usually quite guarded about these things until they have a clear strategy to communicate. If there are changes, they're likely being managed very carefully behind the scenes.
