Yeah, the performance review vibe has definitely shifted here too. It feels like the goalposts moved mid-game, and even solid performers are getting nitpicked. The 'streamlining' talk is also making the rounds in my area. Makes you wonder if layoffs are on the horizon, or if it's just a reorg to shuffle people around. Definitely unsettling when you're used to a more stable environment.
I've noticed the same thing. My review felt unusually tough, focusing on minor things instead of the big picture achievements. The 'operational efficiency' buzzwords are everywhere, and it's hard not to feel a sense of impending change. Hopefully, it's just standard business cycle stuff, but the timing with the stricter reviews is making a lot of people anxious about their job security. Let's hope for clarity soon.
