Hey
@Blind Owl thanks for asking. Surprisingly positive, I guess...? I'm still a little bit puzzled.
When starting the meeting, and my boss asked me about how it is going, I....hm...I did
not stutter around.
But almost...
I couldn't find the right words for what I tried to say: that I am not able to work when colleagues are standing nearby, talking vis-a-vis or on telephone, because I can't hear any other voices then, like for instance when I try to make a phone call at the same time.
...and that I can't handle any working situations which are forcing me to act under any kind of pressure.
...and that I cannot guarantuee, at least for the next, upcoming weeks or months, that I will be at work the next day. I try for sure! But I wouldn't rely on myself on that point...
Well, try to say this to your boss, not being kicked out of your company. Funny thing is: I didn't need to say anything of this. When sitting there, kind of saying nothing when trying to say *something*, my boss asked me, if I can make phone calls (working for a huge phone company, this is an essential need, being able to make phone calls). I then managed to explain myself, that I for sure can make phone calls - but not with headset or else. It seems that he, within a second, combined the result for himself, because he interrupted me, smiled, leant back and said: "o.k., you'll become a single office. That good for you? Making phone calls with loudspeaker is manageble for you?" I could only only nod and something like "yeah, sure, thank you", when he stood up, walked around is office, nipping his espresso while explaining: "You are relieved from your duties. I can't rely on you; well, I can - but that you are here in the office every day, that I can't. But: there are lots of open issues regarding quality management and process definition and tracking. Organize yourself, take over actions, report back next week. And try to relax."
Thats it. So, this is strange: I expected more like to be kicked out of the company, but now I'm having the privilege of working in a single office (no one has such offices except upper and top management) and new responsibilities. Okay, I'm out of the career-roulette, that is for sure. But this, together with the order to relax - thats the reason why I'm still puzzled...surprised...both of it.
Coffee. Decaf.
