Boss mentioned disciplinary action, but it's been two weeks since this occurred with no follow up.?
I don't want to get into specifics, but I had a conversation with my boss about possible disciplinary actions against me roughly two weeks ago. Since then, he hasn't brought up the issue, we've had no further meetings of discussions and communication with him has been normal and professional. One of my coworkers is aware of the issue at hand as well as my friends and family. They seem to think the issue has more or less blown over, but I can't shake the feeling that it could still crop up. I've begun correcting all the issues he mentioned when he first talked to me, but still... I'm uneasy at work and almost constantly worry about it, so just wanted some other opinions. If it's been two weeks since the issue was brought up and nothing more has been said and done, what are the odds that everyone I've spoke to is right and the issue has blown over?
Just to clarify, the issues he discussed with me were not particularly severe, and the company in question isn't particularly large. His first suggestions were actually seeing how to get my job performance in line with others, but again, 2 weeks and no further mention of any of this.
Also, to expand on what anonymous said, I'm on decent terms with the supervisor I spoke with and on extremely good terms with his boss.

If you work for a large corporation, "impending disciplinary action" could take several weeks, sometime months, to happen. The more severe the possible punishment, the longer the resolution would often take. The reason for this is that larger companies usually have layers and layers of procedures to follow, most of them aimed at avoiding lawsuits.
I worked for a large multi-national corporation years ago and a friend in HR told me it sometimes took two to three months to complete disciplinary reviews because every decision needed to be run past company lawyers, who then often consulted retired judges to determine how they'd rule if an employer sued them.
If you're on good terms with your boss I'd ask him for his opinion. If not, I'd see if there's someone in HR who can let you know the status of your case. Just tell them you're concerned and don't want that stress affecting your job performance.

No one here knows the odds.
Odds are basically zero that your boss or other involved parties have forgotten about whatever happened. It's possible boss has decided not to escalate since you seem to have taken his warning to heart.
