Hey everyone, been with Welltower for a few years now and things have felt…different lately. Not seeing any official layoff announcements, but the vibe is off. My department has had a hiring freeze for months, and I've heard whispers from other teams too. Even roles that would normally be open are suddenly 'on hold' or disappear from the internal board. Performance reviews also felt a bit more intense this cycle, with a lot more emphasis on 'efficiency' and 'streamlining.' Just trying to gauge if this is a company-wide thing or if I'm just in a particularly slow-moving part of the org. Anyone else seeing similar trends or have any insights? Feels like there's a storm brewing, but no one's talking about it openly.

Yeah, I'm picking up on the same things. The 'efficiency' talk definitely ramped up. Feels like management is trying to do more with less, and it's creating a weird undercurrent of anxiety. Wondering if this is a sign of broader economic concerns hitting the company, or just a strategic shift. It's definitely making it harder to plan for the future here.

Same here. It's the quiet things that are unsettling – fewer new projects being kicked off, vacant positions staying unfilled for way longer than usual. The hiring freeze is real, and while they're not saying 'layoffs,' the lack of growth and increased pressure feels like a precursor. Hoping it's just a temporary belt-tightening phase.
