- My manager doesn't schedule weekly meetings, so it's clear that they don't care about me at all.

- When you think that they don't care, how does it make you feel?

- Bad and makes me not care either.

- When you feel bad and don't care, how do you show up to the meeting?

- Half checked out.. like I don't really want to be there.

- What is the result of that?

(PIP, months of emotional stress and a lot of time + money lost for the company and all of its employees and shareholders...)

- How about we try to challenge the idea that your manager doesn't care?

You talk about it like a fact, but it's really your thought.

The fact is that your manager didn't schedule a meeting.

What if they forgot? They're busy? Lacking the skills?

They could have fired you months ago, so there already seems to be some level of caring.

In any case, it doesn't matter what they think: we can't control them, but we can manage you and your thoughts.

Lets see how much difference we can make there.

Schedule that meeting. Don't wait around for them to schedule, you take initiative.

Then show up like you really cared. Remember, others will feed off of your energy.

It's a cycle.

Human thoughts and emotions are business critical and worth billions of dollars over the length of our collective careers.

It doesn't matter how much you automate with AI when the people who stay don't know how to work together at their peak performance.
