Hey folks, been at GM for a few years now and things feel... different lately. Usually, there's a steady stream of new initiatives and teams expanding, but it seems like hiring has slowed to a crawl. My department's been putting off backfilling some open roles, and new project proposals are getting put on the back burner for 'further review'. It's not just me noticing this either, heard similar chatter from folks in other divisions. Anyone else in a similar boat? Wondering if this is a broader company strategy to tighten belts, or if there's something else going on behind the scenes. Feels a bit uncertain, to be honest. Curious to hear if anyone has insights or has heard anything concrete.

I've been with the company for close to a decade and have definitely noticed a shift. It's less about outright layoffs and more about a quiet contraction. They seem to be focusing on consolidating existing strengths rather than investing in new growth areas. It's understandable given the economic climate, but it does make it harder to feel secure about future opportunities within the company.
