West Pharma - Budget cuts and hiring freeze?
52
0x52c1…6a4fCurious if others are seeing the same trends. There's been a pretty noticeable tightening of budgets across the board here at West Pharma. Some travel is being scrutinized more heavily, and a few roles that were open for months seem to have been quietly taken off the table. It's not a declared hiring freeze, but it's definitely feeling like one in practice for a lot of departments. On top of that, performance reviews just wrapped up and the messaging around 'cost optimization' was pretty heavy. Not seeing official layoff announcements, but this feels like a precursor to something. Anyone else in a similar boat or have heard anything concrete through the grapevine? Trying to gauge if this is a company-wide thing or isolated to specific divisions. Feels like a lot of uncertainty right now.
