ON Semi: Performance review cycle feeling more intense?

Hey folks, been at ON Semi for a few years now in a technical role. Over the past couple of cycles, the performance review process feels like it's gotten way more stringent. My manager's been putting a lot more emphasis on 'impact' metrics, and the bar seems to be continuously moving upwards. It's not just my team either; I've overheard conversations with colleagues in other departments expressing similar sentiments. There's a general feeling of 'up or out' that wasn't as pronounced before. Anyone else picking up on this? Is this a sign of things to come, or just standard corporate churn? Trying to gauge if I should be updating my resume or just buckling down harder. Curious to hear other perspectives, especially from people in different divisions or levels within ON Semi.

I've noticed a similar trend myself in a different division. The focus on quantifiable impact is definitely higher, and it feels like we're expected to demonstrate a larger leap in progress each cycle. It can be a bit stressful trying to map day-to-day tasks to those big 'impact' statements, especially when project timelines don't always align with review periods. Definitely feels like a shift in how success is being measured.

That's interesting you're feeling that too. I'm in engineering, and while the pressure is there, it feels more like a push for innovation and exceeding baseline expectations rather than a strict 'up or out.' Perhaps it varies by department or role? Our management has been emphasizing continuous improvement and pushing boundaries, which could be interpreted as a higher bar. Glad to know I'm not the only one sensing a change in the review atmosphere.
