Has anyone else noticed increased scrutiny on performance metrics?

Lately, it feels like the performance reviews and metrics are being scrutinized more than ever. There's a lot of talk about "efficiency" and "optimization" coming down from leadership, and frankly, it's creating a pretty tense atmosphere. While I understand the need to be competitive, the constant pressure to quantify every little thing is exhausting and honestly, feels a bit like a precursor to something. I haven't heard any whispers of layoffs directly, but this heightened focus on individual performance and output is definitely making me nervous. Is this a company-wide thing, or is it just specific departments feeling the heat? Curious to hear if others are experiencing this.
