I had a pretty unsettling experience at work today. I was in my office working on my laptop when I overheard my two managers, Manager A and Manager B, discussing the hiring of a new employee. They are looking to fill two urgent roles because we’re currently understaffed. One of the positions is actually the same role as mine, as someone is leaving in a few weeks. While I was focused on my work, I caught snippets of their conversation. Manager A mentioned needing to wait to give an offer letter until they checked references, and Manager B seemed to suggest they should talk about it later, which made me feel uneasy. I noticed Manager B trying to signal to Manager A, and then everything went quiet. It felt like they were trying to keep something from me, and I couldn't help but panic. I’ve only been with the company for a few months, and I’m worried that maybe they were discussing something negative about me or my performance. I passed my probationary period, but the thought of being fired or demoted keeps creeping into my mind. I just don’t understand why they wouldn’t want to talk about it in front of me. I could really use some advice or reassurance right now to help calm my anxiety.
