For two weeks, Sameer’s emails to his manager met with one-word replies. Meetings were rescheduled. He started panicking: Am I being quiet-quit? Am I about to get fired?
Before you spiral, decode the silence. Is your manager avoiding everyone, or just you? Often, a distant manager is simply overwhelmed with their own corporate battles, fighting fires you can't see. However, if deadlines are being stripped away from you or you're suddenly left off crucial project emails, that’s a red flag.
The Lesson: Don't let silence breed paranoia. Instead of guessing, schedule a quick, direct 10-minute check-in. Ask, "Are there any gaps in my current performance I should address?" Clarity beats anxiety every single time.
