Sempra - Any whispers on the horizon?

Hey folks, been seeing some chatter on other utility sites about potential belt-tightening. Haven't heard anything concrete about Sempra specifically, but wanted to see if anyone else is picking up on anything. My team's been unusually quiet lately, and there's been a bit of a freeze on non-essential hires, which is a little unnerving. Is anyone else feeling this? Or is it just the usual end-of-year jitters and budget reviews? Curious to hear if anyone's manager has said anything, even vaguely, about future staffing or resource allocation. Trying not to panic, but a little insight would be appreciated.

Definitely feeling the same vibe. My department's projects have been put on a bit of a pause, and there's a noticeable increase in scrutiny on every expense. It's not just the usual seasonal slowdown; it feels more deliberate. I haven't received any direct communication about layoffs or major changes, but the quietness you mentioned is definitely there. Hoping it's just a standard budget recalibration, but the 'non-essential' hiring freeze is a bit of a red flag, in my opinion.

Interesting to hear others are noticing something too. My manager's been pretty tight-lipped, just giving the standard 'we're evaluating priorities' line, which is usually code for something. We've had a couple of high-level meetings that seemed more serious than usual, but no specifics shared downwards. The lack of movement on new initiatives makes me wonder if there's a bigger strategic shift happening behind the scenes. Let's hope it's nothing too drastic.
