I had a meeting with my boss last Friday in which he went over my performance report for November. He proclaimed that he is “a little concerned” and I'm getting dangerously close to “firing myself”. I've only worked here 6 months and I really like it. My coworkers are all friendly and the hours, pay, and benefits are amazing. I thought it was going quite well. Come my performance report, it turns out every little mistake I've made has imprinted itself in my boss' brain, and now he's telling me “I'm on thin ice”. When I ask him what the main thing that brought him to this conclusion is, he said it's all my “stupid questions”. This coming from the same guy who told me no question is a stupid question, on my first day. Now I'm one small step away from being terminated because I ask possibly obvious questions to avoid making a stupid mistake.
Recently we lost 2 other workers. Then, I was thinking, why would someone want to leave this job? It's such a nice place to work! But if this is the culture here, I'm not surprised they left. Hell, who knows, maybe they got the same talk and they just thought they would do the heavy lifting for my boss and quit before he had the chance to push them out. Either way, I'm not thrilled to keep pouring my soul into a job that I'm working at on borrowed time. It might be easier just to touch up the resumè and start looking at options. Or hold out until termination and file for enemployment.
Any thoughts guys?
