Curious to hear from others at Lam about the recent performance review cycle. Mine felt… different this year. More emphasis on 'efficiency' and 'resource optimization,' which sounds like corporate speak for something else. My manager was pretty vague about future opportunities and seemed hesitant to commit to any long-term projects or career development discussions. It's making me really question where I stand and what the future looks like here, especially with the current industry headwinds. Has anyone else experienced this shift in how performance and career progression are being discussed? It feels like a precursor to something, and I'm trying to understand if it's a broader trend across Lam or just my team's specific situation. The lack of transparency is definitely unnerving.

Yeah, I've noticed a similar shift. The focus on 'efficiency' feels like it's putting a lot of pressure on everyone to do more with less, and it's definitely impacting how we discuss growth. My manager also seemed a bit cagey about future roles, which is understandable given the market, but it leaves you feeling a bit adrift. Hoping things become clearer soon as it's hard to plan when the path forward is so fuzzy. It's a bit unsettling to say the least.
