@APBBlue my favorite note from a boss was when I was at DISA and we had to filter classified stuff out before transferring to the un-class side so people could do their every day jobs

@APBBlue In the note field for some un-classified document was "CLASSIFIED. Mike - SEE ME"

Various thoughts:
Am I in trouble?
What did I do?
Am I being fired?My boss is very literal. I had one of these recently and I opened the meeting with "Am I laid off?" and she seemed shocked.

@APBBlue
Also people who provide no real estimate for how long the conversation is that they need to have with you.Got 15 mins to talk about the new Mario movie coming out?
Now that’s a winner.

@APBBlue Yeah, my ex-boss (and she's a great one) would schedule "Quick chats" for raises, stock options and stuff like that. I told her if she could at least add "Good news" to the invitation, and she did from then on. I think she genuinely didn't realise it was an anxiety-inducing thing otherwise.
