Okta - Performance Reviews & Layoff Correlation?

So, performance reviews just wrapped up at Okta, and the timing feels… convenient. I'm wondering if there's a connection between the review outcomes and any potential upcoming layoffs. Usually, this time of year is about growth and development plans, but there's a definite air of anxiety. It's making me paranoid, honestly. Did anyone else notice a particularly harsh tone during their review? Or perhaps a sudden shift in how feedback was delivered? It's tough to separate genuine performance critique from potential justification for future headcount reductions. I've seen this play out at other companies, and it's never a good sign. Trying not to jump to conclusions, but the signs are pointing in a direction I don't like. Any thoughts or similar experiences to share? Is anyone else seeing this pattern emerge within their teams or departments?

Yeah, I've been feeling that too. The reviews definitely felt more critical than usual, and the language around 'efficiency' and 'optimization' was a bit unsettling. It's hard not to connect the dots when the review cycle ends right before what feels like a quiet period. Hoping for the best, but bracing for potential changes. The anxiety is palpable for sure.
