[quote=Anonymous]OP here - thank you all so much for being so supportive and helpful. I really appreciate the kindness (especially from DCUM! haha)

Looking back on my interviews for this job I realize that my now-boss was very unclear about what exactly the day-to-day job was about. I get the big picture, but apparently our approaches are totally different - in fact, completely opposite - and she's not too keen on me doing things the way that makes sense to me. She's also one of these read-my-mind type supervisors - we'll go over an assignment, I'll think I'm clear on what needs to be done, but I haven't quite managed to hit the mark yet. I was definitely getting the sense that she was frustrated with me and then came the memo on Friday - and the fact that she cc'd HR - and so it became official.

This whole experience is so humiliating - I can't remember ever feeling so incompetent in my professional life - and then to come home to DH and our toddler and try to be a good wife and mother - ahhhh! Oh, and I'm the primary breadwinner in our family, which makes this whole situation even more awesome. Yeah.

So tomorrow I'll go in and work hard (as always) and do my best not to quit or get fired, and work like crazy to get something else lined up ASAP. Good luck to my fellow DCUMs who are also not excited to start another week... [/quote]
