5 phrases that sound supportive... but often mean you're being managed out

Original caption

If your boss says these phrases watch out… “Let's just focus on getting you back on track." Translation: They've already decided you're off track. "We're going to give you some extra support." Translation: You're now under a microscope. "We need to see more consistency." Translation: The goalposts are about to become impossible to hit. "This is an opportunity for growth." Translation: They're building the paper trail, not your career. "Nothing is wrong. We just want to help you succeed." Translation: If nothing was wrong, this conversation wouldn't be happening. #corporatelife #manager #boss #leadership #careeradvice
