Cintas: Anyone else noticing fewer new hires and more internal transfers?

Been at Cintas for a few years now, and I've always seen a pretty steady stream of new faces joining different teams. Lately though, it feels like the hiring process has really slowed down. We've had a couple of open reqs for a while now that just aren't getting filled. On the flip side, I'm hearing more about people being 'encouraged' to apply for internal openings in other departments. It's not overtly stated, but it feels like a way to shuffle people around rather than bring in fresh talent. Anyone else seeing this pattern? Makes me wonder if they're trying to consolidate roles or just being more cautious with the budget. Curious to hear if others are experiencing the same thing in their areas.

I've definitely noticed a shift too. It feels like management is really pushing internal movement, maybe to fill gaps without the cost or time of external hiring. While it's good for some to get new opportunities, it does make you wonder if they're overlooking potentially better external candidates or if there's a broader hiring freeze happening that they aren't communicating clearly. It's a strange time for sure.

Yeah, that internal transfer push is real. My department just had someone move over from another team who wasn't quite the fit they needed, and now we're back to square one. It makes you question the strategy – are they trying to save money, or is there a bigger concern about the talent pool they're attracting right now? Either way, it's impacting team dynamics and slowing things down.
