  1. 1

    I just received a meeting invite from my boss for a "Check-In" on Monday from 10:30 to 10:55 AM, and I'm really anxious about it. There's no context provided, which has me worried that this could be a layoff meeting. It feels odd that they would schedule it for a Monday, especially since I got the invite on a Friday during the workday. The 25-minute duration is also unusual; I mean, layoff meetings usually aren't that short, right? I'm left to sit at my desk for an hour and a half, just thinking about what this could mean. I've seen others suggest checking if my HR business partner has a similar time blocked off, and I might do that. I really hope it’s just a routine check-in, but everything about this feels off. I'm trying to prepare myself for the worst, but I can't shake the feeling of dread. I wish I could just ask my boss directly, but I doubt he would be honest with me if it is indeed bad news.
