Nucor - Are we heading for a hiring freeze or worse?

Been seeing some internal chatter about reduced hiring for open positions, and a few contractors I know haven't had their contracts renewed. Again, no official announcements or anything concrete, but it feels like a shift. Used to be Nucor was always looking to staff up or at least maintain headcount, but lately it feels more like 'if someone leaves, we might not replace them.' Is anyone else seeing this? Especially curious about departments that are usually pretty stable. Is it just a general market slowdown affecting steel, or are there specific Nucor issues at play? Trying to get a pulse on the real situation beyond the official company line. Anyone have insights from their plant managers or HR contacts? It's the quiet stuff that makes you nervous, you know?
