Aon - Performance reviews feel harsher this year

Just finished my annual performance review and it felt more intense than usual. My manager was pointing out minor areas for improvement with a seriousness that felt... different. Usually, it's about development, but this time it felt more like they were building a case. I've heard whispers about Aon needing to hit certain financial targets, and I'm wondering if these tighter reviews are part of that push. It's making me a bit anxious, honestly. Has anyone else experienced a more critical or scrutinizing review process this cycle? Curious if this is a trend across the company or if I'm just in a department that's under particular pressure.

Yeah, I've noticed a similar vibe. My review felt like a deep dive into every tiny imperfection, rather than a discussion about growth. It definitely felt more high-stakes than usual, and the focus on 'areas for improvement' seemed unusually sharp. I'm also wondering if there's pressure from above filtering down. It's unsettling when the usual supportive tone shifts to something more scrutinizing. Makes you question things a bit, doesn't it? Hope it's just a temporary adjustment and not the new normal.
