The elephant in the room: What's up with Booking's job security?

So, I'm not seeing any official announcements, but the whispers are getting louder. The news about Booking.com potentially seeking EU aid has me really concerned about my role. It's not just the headline, it's the subtext – 'substantial layoffs possible'. I've been seeing some odd things internally too, like project freezes and a general slowdown that doesn't feel like typical market fluctuation. Is anyone else at Booking Holdings (any brand) feeling this tension? Has anyone gotten any 'unofficial' but credible information? I'm trying to stay calm and focus on my work, but it's tough when you start wondering if your job is safe. Feels like the company might be bracing for impact.

I'm also picking up on a similar vibe across different brands within the Holdings group. While nothing concrete has been shared, the quiet is almost louder than any announcement. The EU aid speculation definitely raises an eyebrow, and the internal signals you're mentioning – the project pauses and general slowing – are hard to ignore. It feels like more than just a seasonal dip. Hoping someone with direct insight can shed some light, because the uncertainty is pretty stressful for everyone right now.
