Is anyone else feeling the pinch at General Mills lately?

Starting to get a weird vibe across the company. Feels like the usual buzz is muted. Budgets seem tighter, travel approvals are more scrutinized, and there's a general air of caution. Heard from a friend in supply chain that they're reviewing vendor contracts with a fine-tooth comb. Doesn't scream confidence for next year. It's not official, but the whispers are getting louder. Anyone else experiencing this? Seeing fewer opportunities open up, or maybe even hearing about roles being eliminated quietly? Trying to gauge if this is just a normal Q4 slowdown or if there's a bigger shift happening. Feels like it's time to start dusting off the resume just in case, even though I love my job here. Any intel appreciated.

Yeah, I've definitely noticed a shift. The energy feels different, and it's not just in one department. There's a palpable sense of belt-tightening across the board, from what I'm hearing. My team's been told to be extra judicious with any discretionary spending, and even small things like printing costs are being flagged. It's making it hard to plan long-term projects when you're constantly worried about budget cuts. Hoping it's just a temporary phase and things will pick up soon.

I can confirm the tightened budgets and increased scrutiny. We had a recent town hall where leadership acknowledged the economic headwinds and emphasized the need for efficiency. While they tried to spin it positively, the underlying message was clear: we need to do more with less. The vendor contract reviews are happening, and it feels like they're looking for any excuse to trim expenses. It’s creating a bit of anxiety, for sure, and I’m keeping my resume updated just in case.
