Re: Panic about redundancy
I have the same issue - I have a good job and it's very secure but still, any time a supervisor says they "need to talk" I'm just sure it's bad. My work hired on a new boss and we had a get to know you meeting set up, and it turned out to be just that - but all week I was fretting and afraid that he was going to lay me off or change my role substantially.
If you know your boss well, maybe ask if she can give you a topic for chats she's putting off? Just something like "oh, we'll need to talk later, but don't fret, it's just about scheduling". If you don't think you can make that request, maybe try the trick where you set aside five minutes to worry and fret, and when that time is over it's over. No more mulling it over or fretting, just shove it out of your mind and get on with it.
Best of luck with your meeting, I'm sure it will go fine.
