I work at a nonprofit and my boss emailed me about meeting in a week for “coffee.” We’ve never had formal one on ones- she usually just calls me out of the blue for updates. My concern is that there’s no context as to what we’re talking about. I’ve been having personal heath issues recently and I’m concerned it’s impacting work. Who wants to be reprimanded when they already know they have a problem?
It would also be on a day we have an in-person event into the late evening. Overall, I feel like it’s unnecessarily vague and most people would understand that a request like this would be anxiety-producing.
Is this something your bosses do? I’ve followed up with a time and calendar invite and asked about “anything I should prep in advance.” Even so, it’s just so jarring to me.
