In reply to Just gave big presentation, posted by pegasus on July 21, 2006, at 12:25:53
OK, I just got out of the meeting, and now I don't know what to think. I was *so* nervous going in, but when I got in there, my boss and CEO just acted like it was any one of the other meetings we've had. No biggie, how's the wife kind of stuff. And I'm thinking this is the end of my job.
So, then we just had a big brainstorming session about how we could best organize the department and utilize the various people in it. It was such a reasonable discussion. In the end we settled on a plan that was very much like my proposal. All very agreeable and collaborative and friendly. I'm wondering whether they took a friendly pill today, or an antisocial pill last week. Which is reality?
So, then, my boss called me into his office and apologized for making me miserable last week. And he thanked me for holding my head up around the company in the midst of it all (I think he was talking about my presentation this morning).
So, it's like a miracle has occurred, and things are back to where they should have been. But I'm exhausted, and confused, and skeptical. I guess I'll ride with it, though, and see if it's true. I've lost some trust, but I think they've behaved this week as if some professional smoother overer concocted a plan for them to make it all better, and they executed it perfectly.
Maybe . . . maybe they're actually good bosses, and just made a really bad mistake last week. I hate to even type that. And I feel silly now for having been so upset.
Thanks so much for your support everyone. It got me through, and helped me realize that it wasn't just me losing it. It was a crappy situation.
