Your boss said “Can you come see me?” What does it mean?

“Can you come see me when you get a chance?” Are you in trouble?

What it most likely means

They want to talk in person. Usually it's a quick question, a new task, or something easier said face to face. 'When you get a chance' means it isn't urgent.

What six different Brads heard

Everyone has a Brad: the anxious little security guard in your head. Six of them read “Can you come see me when you get a chance?” and every one of them is sure. None of them have evidence.
