In the end we spoke yesterday by phone and I lived to tell about it.

Overall, she was more conciliatory than with F. She overall is happy with the quality of my work and my knowledge of the sector I cover. Yeah, she does want to see a higher production rate, but at least she didn't just say it, she offered some ideas she had as to how I can do that. And, she even said that if I feel stuck with trying to find a piece of information at times to let her know and maybe she will have some thoughts to help me.


She also said that she is going to be leaning on me more in the short-term because she is training the new people so she'll be sending me more client questions, for example. I told her that was fine and to let me know where I could help out.

In the end, it is pretty clear that she does need me around, so at least my job is safe for a while. She seems to be making some effort on her part to discuss things too, which was lacking in the past. I will keep what she said in mind and hopefully it will help.
