Ha, try this for courtesy...
My boss was away on business yesterday and emailed me with a few requests. One of those was to schedule mid-year reviews for his direct reports. No problem - 90% of it was done for his return to the office today.
Now that he's back after the holidays, he is travelling a bit more. So before I left today I spoke to him regards that and the mid-year reviews.
He strangely asked me if I had had mine yet. I was shocked and said no, I was only made permanent in February. He then had the cheek to smirk and say, well you know with all the changes happening here I thought Mr X (his boss) had carried out yours. I was even more shocked. Why would his boss do my review?
So I said no. No one had spoken to me, no one had mentioned it and no one had scheduled anything that I know of.
Is there something I don't know? I mean why on earth would my immediate boss not do my review and why did he not mention this before if he had no intention of doing it anyway?
I have never met a stranger person or non-communicator. He only seems to divulge information as it arises.
