Gee, this sounds similar to what was happening here but (hopefully) without the sole-destroying, backstabbing line manager thrown in to add insult to injury.
It is a new trend with bosses or rather their expectations of our profession? I certainly hope not!
Could it be the visible death of the ability of bosses to provide constructive assessments of ability within a job? Perhaps.
Is it something you should take personally? I would have thought that so long as you do your job to the best of your ability, accurately, efficiently and with a neutral outward exposure, then you can do no more than that.
Is there something else going on within the (social?) infrastructure of the firm that you are not aware of at the moment and would, in the normal course of life, not concern you? Maybe.
Others may have a different perspective, but I do feel this sort of behaviour shows more against the critical bods than the target (namely us).
Big hugs and a large glass of something alcoholic waiting for you on Friday evening...
