GD - Any whispers about potential cuts?

Been with GD for a few years now, and lately, there's been this undercurrent of... unease. Not hearing any concrete news, but the vibe has shifted. Project funding seems a bit tighter, some internal hiring freezes are rumored, and management's been a little cagey in all-hands meetings. Anyone else picking up on this? Seeing similar signs in their departments or business units? I'm trying not to jump to conclusions, but it's hard not to worry when things feel a bit different. Just looking to see if others are feeling this or if I'm just overthinking things. Curious about what the general sentiment is out there.

I'm in the same boat. Been hearing similar rumblings, mostly through informal chats with colleagues across different sites. It's definitely more of a 'feeling' than hard facts, but the collective anxiety is palpable. Management's usual confidence seems a little forced lately, and the emphasis on 'efficiency' is showing up in more ways than one. Hopefully, it's just a seasonal thing or a temporary adjustment, but it's hard to ignore the subtle shifts.

My experience has been a bit different, actually. While I understand the concern and the 'vibe' you're describing, my team's workload hasn't changed, and we're actually seeing some new projects kicking off. That's not to say there aren't broader issues, but it's possible the impact is uneven across the company. Maybe it depends on the specific sector or business unit you're in? It's a big organization, after all.
