agree  brigidm: Preference for the first alternative, which clearly implies an interview (samtale) situation.

agree  Charles Ek: As much as i admire Brigid, I have to contradict her here and vote for the second choice. ;-) I was too often a less-than-enthusiastic participant on both sides of this process to have forgotten its name.

agree  Jande: The dreaded time for a "talk" could also be less formally an "employee talk" No good has ever come out of such a talk.
9 hrs
  -> I must take exception to the no good issue. I once had the privilege of telling my immediate superior, non-stop and uninterrupted for a full hour, the multitude of errors of her ways, and she thought she'd be discussing mine. A momentous moment in time.

  -> Thanks a bunch. I see the asker went for a different option, but on Tuesdays, who knows what evil forces are out and about?
agree  Charles Ek: Per, some 14 years later your answer is still one of the best. Bonus points for telling off a boss.
