So, yeah, awkward as hell. This morning, my boss sent an email that was meant for another manager but somehow ended up in my inbox. I opened it up (obviously), and it’s literally a list of people he’d let go ‘in case of budget cuts.’ Guess whose name’s at the top? 🤦♂️
Now, I’m not sure if I should go full drama mode and confront him, or if I should play it cool, start ‘borrowing’ the office coffee pods and highlighters, and treat my last days like I’m on a farewell tour.
Any advice? Has anyone else been in a similar situation, or am I just cursed
None of that. You go to HR or his boss and claim he’s leaking sensitive documents to employees as a scare tactic. Argue that since you are at the top of the list, you feel targeted and threatened and you feel your job is in jeopardy. Also, argue that making lists like this arbitrary and a waste of resources during working hours. Then the managers head will be the first one on the chopping block
