[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yesterday afternoon my boss put a 10 a.m. meeting on my calendar for today.

Ever since July she's been occasionally putting these 3 p.m. Friday meetings on my calendar at the last minute.

I literally had to contact an EAP program therapist, who said I'm experiencing "anxiety." The meetings are never good news.

I am literally sick to my stomach right now. I've asked my boss not to schedule these meetings on a Friday, because I literally FEAR that I'm going to be fired.

What in actual f$$k is wrong with people that would want to make someone feel this way? And before a weekend?

I know my portfolio better than anyone.  Any face time with the boss is a good thing as I shine.  Knowing there are people like you gives me even more confidence.  
You must have a reason to fear you might get fired and I would say you already know that you’re on the line and probably not performing well.  [/quote]

Yes because there are never ever people which over inflated senses of self who also aren’t actually great performers. Anyway.

OP, absolutely work on managing/medicating your anxiety. It will make life (and work) so much better. Highly recommend.

At the same time, managers who want dedicated and motivated employees would do well to be considerate of employees and having good hygiene around meetings — agendas, clear purposes and next steps, etc — are a pretty basic next practices that it sounds like the manager is lacking.

Both those things can be true at the same time. [/quote]
