Today, I got an email from who is essentially my HR supervisor/job title supervisor. It was an appointment for a half hour in the morning a week from today that said “Performance Check In” with no other information. This immediately put me on edge. I work in a major teaching hospital in an at-will state.
I emailed back asking if it was a meeting about performance goals and concerns, or of another nature so I can be prepared with questions and concerns to ensure a productive meeting since I was pretty sure I had never had a performance check in before.
He emailed back fairly quickly, but literally all it said was “it's about program goals and challenges”. Which, to me, translates to “our program goals are ones you are not living up to and it's causing a challenge so we're firing you”.
Am I right to think I'm going to be fired a week from today? I'm off until Monday, they just recently fired someone else after setting up a meeting with them, though it was a different job title and supervisor involved. I can totally see it taking a few days to get the termination paperwork/HR/legal/payroll stuff together before doing it, and honestly I'm freaking out.
Help!!!
