This is a tough situation.

I empathize. I was in a job for way too long that included immense scrutiny, a two-faced supervisor, and a mate who would only say that I was "spoiled" -- because HE was the only one in the relationship allowed to have work complaints.

It not only triggered depression that has lasted for years, it triggered a physical illness.

It's hard not to read negative in the request for meeting -- but maybe this super who has been your friend in the past honestly does want to help you re-enter smoothly. Is that possible?

My prayers and love go with you.
