Anyone else feel like a sitting duck?

I've been at TI for 8 years, mostly on the MSP430 side. Lately, things have felt...off. Projects are getting canceled left and right, and there's this weird silence from management. I know the whole industry is going through it, but TI always felt different, more stable. Now I'm constantly checking my email, waiting for the other shoe to drop. Anyone else in a similar boat? Is it just my paranoia, or is something really brewing?

Yeah, I'm feeling it too. Not on the MSP side, but seeing similar project shutdowns in my org. The lack of communication is the worst part. It's making everyone anxious and less productive. Best advice I can give is to polish up your resume and start networking internally and externally, just in case. Knowledge is power, even if things turn out okay.

Honestly, this happens every few years. Semiconductor cycles are brutal. Remember 2009? Or 2001? TI's been through worse. Management is probably just trying to figure things out themselves. Panicking won't help. Focus on what you can control – your work and skillset. If you're valuable, you'll be fine.
