>You joined only a month ago? It sounds like you suggested changes too quickly. Egos may be hurt by the new guy saying "you're doing everything wrong."

I agree on the politics but also this org intentionally hired an ex-big-tech engineer, I would have high expectations for that person and throw them at stuff that would make the dev-ex improve and solve the foundational issues with the app. Not just making them a bug-fixer and threaten them about their job if they don't meet some arbitrary PR metric.
