Anyone else feel like they're walking on eggshells?

Hey everyone, been at News Corp for a few years now, and lately, the vibe just feels... off. It's not like there are official announcements or anything, but the day-to-day feels tense. Managers are extra cautious with feedback, and even small mistakes seem to get more scrutiny than usual. My team has been given some 'new objectives' that feel a bit like thinly veiled performance management, pushing us to hit metrics that seem a little unrealistic. I've heard whispers from people in other departments too, about similar things. It's making it hard to focus when you're constantly worried about saying or doing the 'wrong' thing. Just wondering if anyone else is picking up on this and if it's just me or a wider trend across the company.

Yeah, I know what you mean. It's like the air in the office is thicker than usual lately. There's definitely a palpable sense of unease, and it's not just you. People are quieter, more hesitant to speak up even in team meetings. It feels like everyone's walking a tightrope, trying not to rock the boat. The pressure to hit these new targets is immense, and the lack of clear communication about *why* just adds to the anxiety. Just trying to keep my head down and get through the day.
