Considering jumping ship before things get worse

0x149a…8b27I’ve been reading the tea leaves lately and honestly, I don't like what I’m seeing at HII. We keep hearing about 'efficiencies' and 'streamlining,' which we all know is corporate-speak for cutting headcount once the current phase of the program wraps up. The overtime has been slashed across the board in my shop, and we’re being told to strictly stick to 40 hours. When they start cutting OT, you know they’re preparing the books for something else. I’ve started polishing my resume and looking at defense contractors in the area, just in case. It’s a shame because the work itself is meaningful, but the instability of these contract-dependent cycles is starting to take a toll on my mental health. Does anyone know if there’s a genuine risk of a RIF in the coming quarter, or am I just being paranoid? I’d hate to leave a secure pension-track job if it's just business as usual, but I’d hate even more to be the last one left if the axe finally drops.
