Sempra - Observing increased 'efficiency' reviews. Normal or a sign?

Been with Sempra for a few years now, and things have always been pretty stable. Lately though, I'm noticing a significant uptick in 'performance and efficiency' discussions in my team and in adjacent departments I interact with. It's not just the standard annual reviews; these feel more frequent and more... intense. Managers are asking for granular details on productivity metrics, individual contributions are being dissected more than usual, and there's a definite emphasis on 'optimizing resources'. It feels like a lot of focus is being put on 'can this be done with fewer people/less time?'. I haven't heard any direct layoff talk, but this concentrated focus on individual and team efficiency feels like it could be a precursor to something. Anyone else seeing this pattern across the company?

I've seen similar shifts in my department over the past year. It felt a bit unsettling at first, but the focus seems to be on streamlining processes and ensuring we're all working as effectively as possible. My manager explained it as a proactive measure to adapt to changing market demands and keep us competitive. While the increased scrutiny can feel intense, I'm trying to view it as an opportunity to identify areas where I can personally improve and contribute more strategically.

Interesting. I haven't personally experienced that heightened focus on 'efficiency' in my team. We've had our usual performance check-ins, but nothing that feels significantly different or more intense than before. Perhaps it's department-specific, or maybe the impact hasn't trickled down to my area yet. It's definitely something to keep an eye on, though. If it becomes a company-wide trend, it would be good to understand the underlying strategy behind it.
