Citizens Financial - Performance reviews feeling extra brutal this cycle

Is it just me, or have performance reviews at Citizens been particularly harsh this year? I feel like the goalposts have moved, and it's way harder to get a solid rating. Lots of nitpicking and emphasis on minor issues, rather than the bigger picture accomplishments. It's creating a really negative atmosphere, and honestly, it feels like they're laying the groundwork for something. It's not just my team either, I've heard similar feedback from friends in other divisions. Just feels like a lot of pressure and scrutiny with no clear upside. Anyone else experiencing this? Makes you wonder what the endgame is here.

I've definitely noticed a shift in the review process. It feels like the criteria are constantly being tweaked, making it a moving target. The focus seems to be on finding fault rather than recognizing genuine contributions. This approach is definitely demotivating and creates a lot of unnecessary stress. I'm concerned about how this impacts morale and overall productivity in the long run.

Completely agree. It's not just you. My experience mirrors yours; it's like they're looking for reasons to score lower. The emphasis on minute details feels counterproductive when major projects are being successfully delivered. This shift in focus is creating a palpable sense of unease across different departments, and it's hard not to wonder about the underlying reasons for this change in management style.
