2. Here's how I know
The meeting is with the boss/owner and his partner. I've only met with him in his office a couple times, and it wasn't pretty either time. Gut feeling.

4. Gotcha.
That sucks. Are they downsizing? Have you done anything you think would cause it? Any ideas?

6. Yeah, downsizing by one
The excuse they're going to use is that I'm not writing as well as they'd like. But in reality, they just don't like my writing style. I've been in the biz for over 20 years, so it's not a lack of talent.

3. Also
He sent me an email postponing the meeting. In my response I asked him what the meeting was about. Total silence.
