Hey everyone, been seeing a lot of chatter on here and within my own L3Harris division about a potential hiring freeze creeping into Lockheed. Anyone in Aeronautics or RMS seeing this trickle down? My manager's been super cagey about filling open reqs, and even internal transfers seem to be on hold. It's making me nervous about project stability and future growth. Feels like a classic precursor to something bigger, but then again, defense budgets are always up and down. Just looking for some honest experiences or insights from folks on the ground. Trying not to panic, but the lack of clear communication is definitely adding to the anxiety. Are you guys seeing the same slowdown, or is it business as usual in your neck of the woods?

I've been at Lockheed for a while now, and budget fluctuations are pretty standard, especially this time of year. Hiring can definitely slow down or get put on hold for a bit as annual planning wraps up. It doesn't always mean doom and gloom for projects or growth. Sometimes it's just a strategic pause to reallocate resources or wait for clearer budget allocations. Keep an eye on official communications, but try not to stress too much just yet. Defense is cyclical, and things can pick up quickly.**
