I guess it really comes down to what specifically "turning up the heat" means. It sounds like a hell of KPIs and other stupid metrics that waste everyone's time so that a manager can boil a person down to a number instead of doing their job and making hard calls.

I've been a high (if not the highest) performer at companies I've worked at (albeit much smaller companies Meta), if they suddenly want me to log my hours, do a bunch of metric-related BS, or grade me on KPIs that have no basis in reality then I'm leaving.

To me it means: "Nice job you have here, would be a shame if something happens to it!"

I had senior level managers communicating along those lines and squandered my respect in about 3 seconds.

Not that it really matters, but still.
