Hey everyone, been at Gen Digital for a few years now, and lately it feels like there's a lot more focus on individual performance metrics. My manager is suddenly asking for more detailed updates, and I've heard chatter from a few other teams about similar increased oversight. It's not overt, but the vibe is definitely changing. Wondering if this is company-wide or just my department feeling the heat. Feels like they're looking for reasons, you know? Or maybe just trying to optimize things. Curious to hear if others are experiencing this and what you think it might mean. Trying not to overthink it, but the cybersecurity industry can be volatile.

Yeah, I've noticed something similar recently. It's not just your department, I think. There's definitely a shift in how closely everyone's performance is being tracked. It feels less like a trust-based environment and more like a constant review. I'm not sure if it's a company-wide directive or a response to recent market pressures, but the pressure is definitely mounting. Makes you wonder what the end goal is.

Interesting to hear this. While I haven't seen a dramatic change myself, there's a general feeling of 'sharpening the pencil' across the board. It could be a natural evolution as the company integrates recent acquisitions or perhaps a response to broader economic trends. Regardless, increased focus on metrics isn't always a bad thing if it leads to better efficiency and clarity on expectations. Let's hope it's for optimization.
