Nordson: Anyone else feeling the quiet before a storm?

I've been with Nordson for a while too, and I know what you mean about the quiet. It's definitely a different feel than it was a year or two ago. While I haven't seen any major red flags in my specific department, there's a general sense of caution that seems to permeate the company. Budgets feel tighter, and there's less of the usual buzz around new initiatives. I'm hoping it's just a strategic pause and not something more concerning, but it's hard to shake the feeling that something might be brewing.

I can echo some of that sentiment. My team has been tasked with streamlining processes and finding efficiencies, which usually means fewer resources needed down the line. While my manager is also being tight-lipped about specifics, I've noticed fewer internal postings for roles that were previously always open. It's making me a bit uneasy about long-term stability, even though my day-to-day work hasn't changed significantly. Curious to see if others have similar observations.
