Do you have a good reason for looking? Actually, have you got a good reason for staying, and do you have any other prospects? One response could be: I have found the management here is both too invasive and too controlling. But have a signed offer letter you want to take before you say this.

If you have an account on any public website making it clear you're looking for a job, and you've not been open with your employer about this, then you've made your bed. However, if you have been open then continue to be open. Have you checked out the market and found you're worth more? Have they reneged on promises? Is your job a dead end and you need to grow? Make them sell you the job, make them want to keep you. If they don't want to keep you, and you don't want to stay, then why are you even bothering with the meeting? Buy 'em a box of chocolates and wish them a good day.

Why should one be open with him about this ? My Resume is always up-to-date and online, just in case I would need it. This is called in french "listening in the market" = être à l'écoute du marché.

Yeah, heaven forbid that employees and employers have a trusting and open relationship. </sarcasm> I'm sorry you have to work for a company you can't deal with openly.
