> Andy and S-team decided this week to pause on new incremental hires

> We still intend to hire a meaningful number of people in 2023

Am I missing something, or are these contradictory?

Sounds like they won’t be passively backfilling, but will still actively recruit for select projects.

which sounds bad if you are on a team with somebody who quits/gets fired/gets laid off

I'm sure there's no correlation between "teams with people leaving" and "teams that are under-funded or struggling"...

Huh. That's almost the opposite of what I understood - "new incremental hires" sounds like active recruiting, but I could see "passive recruiting" falling outside that heading.

Who knows? It's HR PR, it means whatever they want it to mean.

I read this to mean “hiring freeze for a bit but resume soon”
