took a "dentist appointment" for an onsite at a competing company. my manager saw me at a coffee shop near the other companys office. in a suit. carrying a portfolio.
she hasnt said anything directly but our 1:1s have been different. shorter. more formal.
how do i navigate this?

address it directly. "i know you saw me and i want to be honest. i was exploring an opportunity. id like to discuss what would make me excited to stay." turn it into a negotiation

your manager already knows. the question is whether she uses this as leverage to retain you or as reason to manage you out. control the narrative

lesson for everyone: NEVER interview near your office. take the day off, go to a different neighborhood. basic opsec
