Rockwell Automation: Voluntary Separation or just noise?

Has anyone heard anything concrete about VSPs (Voluntary Separation Programs) being discussed for Q4? I’ve caught wind of some whispers from a few senior managers about 'right-sizing' based on current project margins, but nothing official has hit the intranet. Honestly, I’d rather take a package and move on than wait for a messy involuntary round if things are headed south. The mood in the office feels weirdly tense during standups, and the push for higher efficiency in the latest town hall felt like a precursor to performance-based exits. If anyone has intel on whether HR is actively prepping for a reduction in force or if we’re just bracing for another round of budget cuts, please spill. Don't want to be the last one left holding the bag if they start trimming overhead again.

I’ve heard the same rumors circulating through my department. Management is definitely tight-lipped, but the increased scrutiny on project margins isn't standard procedure. If a VSP is actually on the table, it’s usually a sign they want to avoid the bad PR of a layoff while still hitting headcount targets. I’d keep your resume updated just in case, because these 'whispers' rarely happen without some sort of institutional shift brewing behind the scenes. Better to be prepared than caught off guard when the official email drops.
