Lurking on here for a while, but wanted to chime in. It feels like hiring has slowed to a crawl across the board at Eastman. We've had several open requisitions in my department that have been 'under review' for months, and some even pulled entirely. Meanwhile, we're expected to deliver the same results, if not more. It's leading to burnout and a general sense of 'do more with less' that's wearing thin. Is this a company-wide strategy to cut costs before a potential restructuring, or is it just a temporary hiccup in the recruitment process? Anyone in HR or management have any insight into what's really going on? It's hard to plan long-term when you feel like the ground is constantly shifting beneath your feet. Just want some clarity before I start polishing the resume.

I've definitely seen this in my division too. Open roles just sitting stagnant, and the pressure to maintain output is intense. It's creating a pretty stressful environment, to be honest. Makes you wonder about the long-term plan. Are they expecting current staff to just absorb the extra workload indefinitely? It's becoming a real drag on morale, and I worry about retention if things don't change soon. Definitely feels like more than just a temporary blip.
