Anyone else seeing the internal job postings drying up?

I’ve been tracking the internal portal for a few months, and it’s basically a ghost town lately. Positions that definitely needed backfilling back in January are suddenly listed as 'on hold' or they just disappear from the list entirely without being filled. It feels like a soft hiring freeze, but management refuses to acknowledge it. They keep preaching about growth and expansion in the healthcare distribution space, but the reality on the ground feels like we are doing more with less every single day. I’ve been here for three years and I’ve never seen the internal mobility this stagnant. I’m starting to think they are trying to attrition people out naturally rather than doing a formal layoff event. It’s a classic move, but it’s making the team morale absolute garbage. If you’re currently looking for a move within the company, good luck—I think the budget for new headcount is pretty much non-existent right now.

I’ve noticed the exact same thing in my department. It’s frustrating because the workload has only increased since the start of the year, yet we’re being told to just 'prioritize effectively.' When you see high-priority roles get pulled from the portal, it’s hard not to read between the lines. It feels like they are tightening the budget quietly to protect the bottom line while keeping us in the dark. Don't expect any clear communication from leadership on this; they seem content to let us burn out rather than admit there’s a freeze in place.

The lack of transparency is honestly the most annoying part of the whole situation. We keep getting these corporate emails about our 'record-breaking trajectory,' but the internal reality is just constant attrition and zero backfilling. I've stopped checking the portal altogether because it’s just demoralizing to see opportunities vanish overnight. If they’re planning to restructure, they should just come out and say it instead of playing these games with open headcount.
