The 'quiet' Hiring Freeze at Howmet?

Curious to hear if others are experiencing this. It feels like Howmet has implemented a soft hiring freeze. Open positions are taking forever to fill, or sometimes they just disappear from the internal postings. I know a few teams that have been trying to backfill critical roles for months with no luck. It's not like there's a company-wide layoff announcement, which is good, but this feels like a precursor to something. The energy in some meetings lately has been a bit tense, and people are definitely watching their backs. Anyone else in a similar boat or have any intel on why hiring seems to be on pause? Is this industry-wide, or something specific to Howmet? Trying to stay positive but this definitely adds to the uncertainty.
