Gen Digital - Performance reviews feel... different this year.

So, performance review season just wrapped up, and I gotta say, it felt a lot more intense and less clear than previous years at Gen. The goals seemed fuzzier, and the feedback, while not overtly negative, felt like it was setting a higher bar with less defined support. I've heard a couple of whispers from colleagues in different departments that their reviews also felt tougher. It's making me wonder if they're starting to build a case for something down the line, or if it's just the new normal for performance management. Anyone else feel like their review was unusually scrutinized or had a more negative tone than expected?

I'm experiencing something similar. The lack of clarity on goals this year is really unsettling. It feels like we're being asked to hit a moving target without a clear map. I've been trying to get more specific direction but it's like pulling teeth. Hoping it's just a temporary adjustment period, but it's definitely creating some anxiety about what's next.

Definitely noticed the shift too. The emphasis feels less on growth and more on quantifiable, sometimes seemingly arbitrary, metrics. Conversations about 'potential' seem to have dried up, replaced by a harder-edged focus on immediate output. It makes you wonder about the long-term strategy and how employee development fits into it anymore. Keeping my eyes and ears open for more information.
