Anyone else seeing headcount freezes and performance PIPs ramp up?

Been at Accenture for a few years now, primarily in the Strategy & Consulting practice. Lately, the vibe feels… off. We've had a 'hiring pause' for most non-critical roles for the last quarter, which wasn't a thing before. Couple that with a noticeable uptick in performance improvement plans (PIPs). It feels like they're trying to manage headcount down without openly saying so. Used to be that if you weren't a top performer, you were relatively safe, but now even solid performers are getting a lot of scrutiny. Wondering if this is an Accenture-specific thing or a broader consulting trend. Is it just my practice area, or is anyone else in different parts of the business experiencing this? Feels like the pressure is on to 'right-size' teams subtly before any bigger announcements, if they're even planned. Just trying to get a pulse on what's happening across the firm.
