Performance review season got anyone else feeling uneasy?

So, performance review season is upon us again at Amphenol. Normally, it's just a standard check-in, maybe a little stress about hitting goals, but this year feels different. There's definitely a weird tension in the air. People are being a lot more quiet about their ratings and feedback. I've heard a few people mention that expectations were raised significantly this cycle, almost to an unrealistic level, and that 'meets expectations' is basically the new 'needs improvement.' Makes you wonder if this is a precursor to something. No official word on layoffs, and the company still seems to be operating at full steam, but this heightened focus on individual performance and seemingly tougher metrics is making me a bit nervous. Anyone else picking up on this vibe? Hope I'm just overthinking it, but the general mood feels... less secure than usual.
