T. Rowe Price - Darlington site impacts

Just saw the WARN notice for the Darlington location hitting the wire from mid-December. Seven heads might seem small compared to the massive tech industry bloodbaths, but for an asset management firm like TRP, it feels like the steady drip of a leaky faucet. Is anyone on the ground there feeling like this is the start of a broader Q1 reduction, or was this just a cleanup of a specific legacy project that reached its end of life? I’ve been hearing rumblings about 'efficiency realignment' across several middle-office teams, and it’s making me pretty uneasy about my own job security heading into the new fiscal year. If you're in the impacted group or have visibility into the shifting headcount targets for early 2024, please chime in. It’s impossible to get a straight answer from management when you ask about resource stability, and the lack of transparency is starting to weigh on morale. Are we bracing for a bigger wave, or is this just standard operational housekeeping?
