What's up Kellanova folks? I've been trying to get a new role approved internally for a while now, and it seems like every time we get close, it gets shut down. Heard from a few different departments that they're not filling vacant positions and that even critical backfills are being put on the back burner. My manager mentioned it's a company-wide directive to 'manage headcount prudently' for the foreseeable future. It's making it really tough to get work done when teams are already stretched thin. Makes you wonder if they're preparing for something, or just tightening the belt. Anyone else hitting these walls when trying to staff up or backfill? Curious about the broader impact.

Yes, I've definitely been feeling the pinch on the hiring front. It's not just your department; it seems like a pretty widespread issue across the board. We've had open requisitions for months that are just stuck in limbo, and it's making things incredibly challenging. Trying to get any new initiatives off the ground feels like an uphill battle when we're already short-staffed. The 'manage headcount prudently' line is the official story, but it definitely impacts daily operations and morale when you see critical roles remaining unfilled. Hopefully, this is a temporary situation and things loosen up soon.
