Just got that meeting invite with a partner with subject "catching-up", meeting invite body empty. Does it mean I'm getting laid-off?

Can't tell if Deloitte people just love trolling their noobs or if it's actually that f'd up over there. If counselor actually means something, wouldn't you expect a newly assigned counselor to set up a catch up with their new counselee in order to, you know, get to know them, do their job as counselor, etc?

Update to all. Meeting was an introduction of her as my new counselor, work on a regular plan to meet expectations, discuss objectives, etc. I guess in this case "catching-up" tully meant catching-up. I'm still around but was not sure to expect. Thanks everyone for the support!

Partners hardly ever send details in an invite. Catching up probably just means catching up.

Is there a dial-in on the invite instead of a direct number? That's what happened to me. Turned out there were three parties on the call, including the HR.
