This was the first time I forgot a meeting as well, but my managers are enraged with me and saying that they do not think I am capable of handling things on my own and are removing me from some of my upcoming projects. They also said I have to earn back their trust before they allow me to handle projects again, though I have handled large projects before and this was the first time I was late to a meeting.. Not too sure what’s my agenda of posting here, maybe looking for some encouragement or advice. Feeling very scared and demoralised now
