VeriSign - Feeling the pressure on Q4 goals?

Hey all, just wanted to see if anyone else at VeriSign is feeling an unusual amount of pressure to hit Q4 targets. My manager has been emphasizing hitting every single metric, almost to an obsessive degree. It's more than just the usual end-of-year push; there's a palpable sense of urgency that feels... different. We're talking about hitting targets that previously felt more flexible, now being treated as absolutely critical with no room for error. Some of the older projects that were chugging along have suddenly been put on the back burner to focus on these high-priority items. It’s creating a bit of stress on the team, and honestly, it’s making me a little nervous. Wondering if this is just a company-wide push or if something else is going on that we're not privy to. Anyone else experiencing this intensified focus on performance metrics?
