Kraft Heinz - Is anyone else seeing hiring freezes or budget cuts?

Getting a weird vibe at KHC lately. My department's budget got slashed for Q3/Q4, and there's been a pretty clear hiring freeze on all open roles. Not just 'slow hiring,' but like, 'don't even bother posting the job' kind of freeze. My manager brushed it off as 'seasonal budget adjustments,' but this feels different. We also had a few temp contractors let go last week with minimal explanation. I'm in a corporate function, so maybe it's different on the ground floor, but the cost-saving measures feel pretty aggressive. Curious if other divisions are experiencing this. Are there any open reqs you know of that have suddenly disappeared? Or have you been told projects are being shelved indefinitely due to funding issues? Trying to gauge the temperature across the company.

Yeah, I've been hearing similar rumblings. My team hasn't seen any overt cuts yet, but there's definitely a heightened sense of caution. Open requisitions that were supposed to be filled months ago are still just sitting there, and internal transfers are being discouraged. It feels like the company is bracing for something, or at least tightening the purse strings significantly. The temp contractor situation is also a red flag for sure. Just trying to stay focused on my work and not get too caught up in the office gossip, but it's hard not to notice the shift in atmosphere.
