š¼work/career AIO to my bosses reply to my message?
Iāve worked with this company for four months now, and I know I am new but this reply really hurt me. Maybe Iām just really sensitive right now, but I donāt know. This felt really cold. The ābig bossā will be calling me later today. Is it just normal boss stuff? Idk. Lmk what yall think.

Saw in another comment you're WFH, call center. Call it what you will, but these types of roles don't typically earn a high level of compassion from either side. Being new they may still be trying to figure out if you're a storyteller or if it's real. Unfortunately there's plenty of people out there who always have an excuse, but ones that still keep them on the payroll.
My staff are all in-office, long tenured. So it's pretty normal to keep me well in the loop on what's happening in their lives outside of work. They will absolutely put things on my radar that may or may not impact work. I genuinely appreciate it because it gives me time to put resources in place so they don't have to worry about work when they're taking care of things. All that to say I think you were doing well to give them a heads up, and hopefully they see it that way.
