Sempra - Performance review season & layoff anxiety

So, performance review season is officially upon us at Sempra. While this is usually a time for feedback and goal setting, lately it feels like there's an undercurrent of anxiety. I've heard some vague comments about 'optimizing resources' and 'streamlining operations' in team meetings. Nothing direct, of course, but it makes you wonder. Has anyone else gotten feedback that felt a little… off? Like they're setting the stage for something? I'm in a non-critical support role, so I'm naturally a bit more nervous than some of the core operational folks. Just hoping for some honest takes from others experiencing similar vibes. Trying to stay positive, but the uncertainty is tough.

Yeah, I'm feeling it too. It's the same vague corporate speak that always precedes difficult decisions. They talk about efficiency and optimization, but what it usually means is headcount reduction. My team leader has been a bit cagey when asked about future projects, which isn't like them. Just trying to stay productive and hope for the best, but it's hard not to worry.

I've noticed the same subtle shifts. Performance reviews feel more like evaluations for cuts rather than development opportunities lately. The 'streamlining' talk is particularly concerning. I'm in a similar boat, a role that feels easily replaceable if they decide to make cuts. Trying to document my contributions and make myself indispensable, but the general atmosphere is pretty tense.
