KeyCorp: Performance Review Season and Future?

So, performance review season is upon us at KeyCorp, and it feels... different this year. The usual metrics are there, but there's a new emphasis on "strategic alignment" and "future-proofing roles." My manager has been talking a lot about adapting to market changes and how certain skill sets might be more critical moving forward. While I understand the need for evolution, it's hard not to read between the lines, especially with the current economic climate. It feels less like a "great job, let's build on this" and more like a subtle "make sure you're essential, or else." Has anyone else received similar feedback or noticed a shift in how performance is being evaluated? Wondering if this is a precursor to something bigger, or if it's just standard annual review stuff with a new buzzword spin. Feels like we're all holding our breath.
