Seeing a lot of "project roles" and "consultants" lately. What's up?

Hey everyone, been at GEHC for a few years now and things feel… different lately. More and more roles are being advertised as "contract," "temporary," or "project-based." On top of that, there seems to be a significant increase in external consultants being brought in, especially for strategy and operational efficiency projects. Usually, this kind of thing happens *after* some major announcements, but we haven't heard anything concrete. It feels like they're building up a war chest of external help and short-term hires, which makes me wonder if a larger restructuring or, dare I say, layoffs are on the horizon. Has anyone else noticed this trend? Are you in roles that have suddenly shifted to contract? Or are your departments seeing a lot more external support? Trying to get a read on the room and if this is a company-wide thing or just specific to certain areas. Curious to hear your experiences and thoughts. Is this just a normal business cycle, or is it a precursor to something bigger?
