Hey, I’m currently about 7 months into a new role in sales at a cybersecurity firm and took a brief (3 week) paternity leave returning to the office last Monday. As of 7 pm tonight, my HR sent me a calendar invite with my boss, his VP and a VP of sales operations on it for Wednesday afternoon next week. Of note, my role was recently changed handling bigger accounts and I was at 66% of quota fiscal h1. What are the odds I’m being let go next week? What steps can I take to prepare? Thanks
