Definitely felt a similar vibe during my review. My manager spent a lot of time talking about optimizing current processes and making sure we're all pulling our weight on efficiency metrics. It wasn't necessarily negative, but the usual talk about new projects and skill development seemed to take a backseat. Makes you wonder what the broader strategy is.
Interesting to hear others are experiencing this too. My review was heavily skewed towards justifying resources and demonstrating ROI on every task. It felt less about career progression and more about ensuring every single person is contributing directly to the bottom line right now. Definitely a departure from past years.
