Anxious about a new job. Supervisor seems nice. /s Using a throwaway because my new supervisor is a fellow redditor. ___ I'm starting a new job on Monday. During training, my supervisor asked for my phone number and whether calling & texting would be fine. For some ungodly reason I decided to tell the truth. I'm seriously regretting signing the employment paperwork. I don't have the st-st-stutter kind of stutter, but rather the kind where I can't speak. When speaking face-to-face, it is almost imperceptible. I think I come across as a slow talker or someone who is very particular about their words. On the phone, however, I'm basically mute. I can say "hi" and "mhmm" and that's about it. Earlier this week she called me "just to see how bad it was". And today she sent me this [meme](https://i.imgur.com/hdU1g9b.jpg). Our texts went as follows: >**Boss:** [picture] >**Boss:** For you, lol >**Me:** I probably deserve that. >**Boss:** I wasn't trying to be rude. I hope you don't take it the wrong way. I just saw it and it made me think of you. Everyone has their fears and quirks. >**Me:** It's fine. A little hazing is to be expected. >**Boss:** I'm not hazing you. It's more of a friendly gesture. I mean it when I say we're equals on a team. I'm a leader not a manager. I'm only here to help and ensure that we stay on track. :) >**Me:** Maybe we should just leave it be. See you Monday. >**Boss:** I didn't mean to bother or impose. See you Monday. I feel like she isn't being very considerate. She hasn't apologized. And, slightly off topic, why would you send your subordinates memes? Am I overreacting or was this not a very nice thing to do? She's fresh out of college (as am I) and I think this is her first time in a leadership position, but I don't think it excuses her actions or makes them any less inappropriate. More to the point, it really hurt my feelings. The more I think about it, the more hurt I feel. #**What should I do?**
