Dear all,
I am requested to attend a meeting in private with the one-over-one boss. I suspect this is a sort of discipline meeting. He has travelled from a remote office especially to organize this circumstance. The boss did not want to state the purpose of the meeting.
The subject boss is a violent/aggressive person who want to relief/vent on me and I really don't want to experience this; I also know this boss does not have a strong case against me and this actually makes him even more aggressive. I have nothing against attending some sort of performance review or equivalent (with weaknesses been pointed out etc.) if and when it is done properly, with evidence and record. I feel however uncomfortable and unsecure sitting with that boss in a private room. Just on gut feeling basis I would not want to do this.
What are my options ?
- refuse to attend and face the consequence (termination ?)
- request an person / representative or HR to attend together with me
- confront the boss with his own character flaw (he once told me "I am typically violent", yes this happened)
- attend and take the hit (of course writing done the complete record for any future legal action)
- activate the company compliance channel
- be sick the day of the meeting (guess it will only postpone the problem)
I am already prospecting for another job, its just that I want to leave from this company with my mental sanity as well as buy for myself some time to land a descent offer.
What would you do ?
Thanks in advance for your help
