Loews: Performance reviews feel unusually harsh this cycle

Is it just me, or have performance reviews at Loews felt exceptionally tough this year? Mine came back with more constructive criticism than usual, and I'm usually a solid performer. Talking to a few colleagues, it seems like a pattern. Everyone's getting dinged for minor things or pushed to meet 'higher expectations' that weren't really communicated beforehand. I know companies often use review cycles to manage headcount, but this feels more aggressive than usual. It's making me nervous, especially with the general economic uncertainty. Has anyone else felt this way? Are they setting people up for something? Just trying to get a sense if this is a Loews-wide trend or if I should be looking at my own performance more critically. It's definitely creating a lot of anxiety.

Yeah, I've noticed that too. My review felt like a complete overhaul of what's considered 'good performance' without any prior heads-up. It's frustrating because I thought I was hitting all the right marks. Now I'm wondering if I need to completely change my approach or if this is just a company-wide directive to raise the bar across the board. It definitely makes you second-guess yourself.

Totally agree. It's not just you. I heard similar things from my team. It feels like the goalposts have moved significantly, and not in a way that feels achievable or well-communicated. It's creating a lot of anxiety and uncertainty, which isn't great for morale. Hopefully, there's a clear path forward and better communication on what these 'higher expectations' actually entail.
