Okay, so I've been with Pfizer for about 7 years now, in the R&D department, and I'm starting to get that familiar knot in my stomach. The one I get whenever there's talk of 'restructuring' floating around. Anyone else hearing more than usual chatter about potential changes coming down the pipeline? Specifically, I'm in the Cambridge, MA site. The VP had a weird all-hands meeting last week that felt…vague, but also ominous. Last time this happened, it was a bloodbath. I’m not sure I can go through that stress again. Anyone have any inside intel on what's brewing? Should I start updating my resume?

I'm over in Groton and yeah, things feel…off. The 'synergy' word has been thrown around more than usual lately, which is usually code for 'we're about to trim the fat.' I'd quietly update your resume and start networking, just in case. Better to be prepared than caught off guard. Good luck!

Honestly, this happens every couple of years. They announce some kind of restructuring to appease shareholders, maybe shuffle some departments around, and then things go back to normal. Don't let the rumor mill get to you. Focus on your work and ignore the noise. If something actually happens, you'll find out soon enough. Just my two cents.
