So I did something very very stupid today. Was in a meeting with my manager &amp; coworker and my manager alwaysssssss cuts me off. Which is so mfing annoying because if she let me finish talking then she wouldn’t have questions. If she listened to what I said, she wouldn’t ask me the same thing every single day. And every day I tell her to reference my previous response in addition to responding to the question. 

So. Today in my meeting I was so annoyed and forgot my screen was shared. I usually WFH and was in the office today using the TV Zoom. During my meeting while I was talking, my manager once again cut me off in the middle of what I was saying. I messaged my coworker who was in the Zoom as well saying “love how she always cuts me off.”  

Then my manager addressed that because obviously she saw it and said sorry to cut you off go ahead. So I proceeded with the rest of my agenda as if nothing had ever happened. After it was over I was panicked because the last girl in my role was put on a PIP and fired for speaking up to HR about everything I’ve noticed about my manager, which she experienced first hand (I was hired as her replacement before she was fired , I had no knowledge of this prior). I called my manager immediately and apologised for being unprofessional but said I don’t appreciate being cut off all the time while I’m speaking because it makes me feel like you don’t listen (especially since she never remembers anything). She apologised and asked how often she does that. I lied and said 10-20% of the time which the real statistic is about 60% of the time. 

She had also called my coworker who was on the call and asked if what I said was true. Coworker said yes, you did cut her off but she never has said anything bad about you so it was likely in the heat of the moment. 

I know I f’ed up and am scared to get fired now. The girl before me got fired for formally bringing these complains to HR and for me to have a slip like this makes me feel like I’ll be fired soon. I don’t trust this manager because she’s even told myself &amp; my coworker that we have said things about each other that are not true. After observing all of this, my coworker did say that her and the previous girl wondered if they should have warned me about what I was walking into.  

While I do see how and why I could be fired... How likely/ soon would it happen if you were the HR person handling this? I’m actually surprised I was not fired on the spot tbh. I’ve been looking for other jobs while at this job so hoping something else comes along. My
Coworker thinks I will be okay because my manager has gotten several complains to where she is not allowed to speak to candidates anymore. Coworker said she doubts that manager wants more issues on her plate like this but employment is at-will so I might have just dug my own grave. 

I know I should have just texted my coworker but this was clearly meant to be and it happened so can’t take it back now. 😓
