Doing	Fear of changed requirements	“At some point I felt that, wait a minute, I don´t have time to delve into these things … as learning new errands took time to absorb.” (5) “It is hard for me to define what I should do. Sometimes, different managers have a different outlook then, that they too are against the fact what is expected of me …” (1)
Doing	Fear over workload	“I am a bit afraid of my workload growing … how am I keeping up with the other tasks so that those don´t get forgotten?” (7)
Being	Fear of isolation	“It has definitely increased in my team and in our whole house during the past years that we just do things alone” (10) “..now there are just empty rooms compared to old times, when there were lots of colleagues and time to discuss with them both about work and private matters … today, there is obviously a lot less of that.” (4)
	Fear of coping	“It’s just that you have to take care of yourself. The employer does not come to say, ´hey, let’s lower your goals´”(1)
	Fear of blurred roles	“There should be more guidance on new roles … now I am in a situation where there is no one to ask for advice here at the office.” (5) “I am not sure about the expectations … what do they expect me to achieve?” (10) “It would be good as well to get support on how to succeed and how to adapt to upcoming changes”. (3)

	Fear of the unexpected	“I have been following these changes to self-determined and agile culture already for years and it feels that it has always led to downsizing actions.” (7) “We have been talking a lot about being and becoming agile, but then you start noticing things that are far from being agile.” (2)
