Hey everyone, Been at MetLife for a few years now, and lately, the internal job board has been looking pretty anemic. Usually, there are a decent number of openings for internal transfers, but it feels like a ghost town the last couple of months. Even tried chatting with a few recruiters I know and they're being super cagey, just saying 'things are shifting' or 'prioritizing critical roles.' On top of that, I've noticed a lot of teams seem to be holding off on backfilling roles that have opened up. People are picking up the slack, but it's definitely noticeable. Makes you wonder what's really going on behind the scenes. Are we heading into a tougher period, or is this just standard cyclical stuff I haven't paid enough attention to? Anyone else pick up on this? Any insights from your departments or teams? Curious to hear what others are seeing or hearing, even if it's just water cooler chat. Trying not to read too much into it, but the silence is a little unnerving.

Honestly, I've noticed the same thing. It feels like hiring freezes or major restructuring might be happening. The silence from recruiters is definitely a red flag. It's making it tough to plan career progression internally. Wondering if this is a company-wide thing or specific to certain departments. Has anyone else heard more concrete details, or are we all just left guessing?

Yeah, that's pretty concerning. I thought it was just me being unlucky with the postings. The 'prioritizing critical roles' line sounds like a standard response when budgets are tight or there's uncertainty. Might be worth exploring external options if internal mobility is this stagnant, though I know many prefer to stay if possible. It's a tough environment to navigate right now.
