RPM International - Layoff Rumors or Just Industry Slowdown?
7F
0x7f73…4468Lately, there's been a lot of chatter on some other industry forums about potential headcount reductions in the chemical sector. While RPM hasn't officially announced anything, I'm wondering if anyone here has heard any specific buzz or seen any signs that might indicate impending layoffs at RPM?
It's that time of year where budgets get reviewed, and sometimes tough decisions are made. I've noticed a slight dip in project scope discussions in my area, and a general sense of 'belt-tightening'. It's not a full-blown panic, but it's definitely a noticeable shift from a few months ago.
Trying to separate genuine indicators from the general economic anxiety that seems to be pervasive. If anyone has concrete information or even strong anecdotal evidence from their specific division, please share. Otherwise, just trying to understand if this is an RPM-specific thing or part of a broader trend we should all be bracing for. Thanks for any insights.
