Kinder Morgan - anyone else feeling the chill?

Hey all, been with KMI for a few years now, in the [redacted] division. Lately, the vibe feels... off. Lots of hushed conversations, whispers about 'realigning resources' and 'efficiency drives.' No official announcements, no WARN notices, nothing concrete, but the air is thick with uncertainty. My manager has been cagey about upcoming projects and headcount for next year. Used to be we'd have town halls with some Q&A, but those have been scaled back. Is anyone else in other departments seeing or hearing similar things? Wondering if it's just my team or if there's a broader organizational shift happening that management isn't being upfront about. Trying not to panic, but it's hard when the usual transparency seems to have vanished. Anyone have any intel, even rumors?

Yeah, I'm seeing some similar vibes in my area too, though maybe not as intense. There's definitely a feeling of waiting for something to happen, but no one seems to know exactly what. Project scopes seem to be tightening up, and there's more scrutiny on budgets than usual. It's hard to plan when the future feels so up in the air. Hopefully, it's just a standard cycle of 'optimization' and not something more serious.

I hear you. The lack of transparency is unsettling. It creates a lot of anxiety when leadership isn't communicating clearly about the company's direction. I've noticed a slowdown in new initiatives and a general 'hunker down' mentality across the board. It makes it tough to stay motivated when you're constantly wondering what's next. Just hoping for some clarity soon, one way or another.
