Definition: to be under attack, to be criticized heavily

Examples:

Yesterday, I said some very offensive comments to my colleague. Today, I am under fire from the whole office. Everyone is demanding an apology from me.

Sales are down, and the Sales Manager is very unpopular these days. He is under fire from everyone.
