Anyone else seeing a hiring freeze/slowdown?

Just curious if others at General Mills are noticing a significant slowdown in hiring or even a quiet freeze on backfills. My team's been trying to fill a critical open role for months, and we keep getting the runaround about budget approvals. Internal postings seem to have dried up too. It feels different from previous years. Usually, there's at least some movement, but right now, it's like everything's on pause. Makes you wonder what's happening behind the scenes. Are they trying to cut costs proactively, or is this just a temporary hold? Wondering if this is a company-wide thing or specific to certain divisions. Has anyone gotten any direct communication about hiring plans for the rest of the year? Curious to hear what others are experiencing.

Yeah, I've noticed it too. It's been incredibly slow trying to get any new headcount approved, even for roles that are pretty essential. We've had an open position for almost six months now, and the approvals just keep getting pushed back. It's frustrating because it impacts workload and morale when teams are already stretched thin. Makes you wonder if there are bigger strategic shifts happening that we're not privy to.
