"The consequences of underperforming are "more drastic" now than they were 10 years ago, Friggeri said on " The Peterman Pod."

Organizational slack has decreased over the past decade, and expectations for tech employees are tighter. Performance gaps are identified and addressed faster, and prolonged failure to meet clear expectations can lead to formal performance management, role changes, or exits. Some firms have enforced this by labeling and laying off low performers, while also offering higher bonuses to top performers. Workers should make expectations explicit by aligning with managers on priorities and defining what 'great' looks like for the next 30/60/90 days. The trend is industry-wide and reflects current market conditions.
