Hopefully they are not, but seeing how new hires are all contract lately and full time positions don’t get filled once talent moves on the dots are pretty easy to connect.

I’ve been experiencing hiring freezes across the board

My S/Os org is pushing hard to bill everything to be able to keep all their FT staff as their sales forecast updates decreased significantly.

It’s definitely a grey area at this time - not enough decisions made to give you a general trend. But I would say adjustment to remote work, size of the organization, and the strength of client relations at this time will really play into how well they face the storm.

Could have used the anticipated saving coming back to fund more stimulus for those who truly needed it.
