Gee
Barely see the boss to communicate face to face. Try telephone and leave messages, which are not returned or returned a day or two later after the fact and I have already taken measures around seeking their input to get the matter taken care of. Very unusual situation I am not accustomed to. Hate to put it in an e-mail, as I feel that is lowering my communication skills. Things of this nature are better dealt with in person face to face. Boss is not happy with having to relocate office, as I posted previously, so every chance that presents itself, boss works at home out of their home office. I am not sure from one day t the next when boss will show up at my door as boss just dials into meetings unless there is a face to face with their boss. I go for several days with no verbal communications or interaction at all. Except, eMails forwarded to me that state "respond to this". My response is "I have it and will respond ....." or Already done". I am not used to copying Boss on every communication I send out, since their inbox is full as it is. I copy only on those things of urgency, not scheduling meetings where it is just stating when available, etc. The statement was made to me "we don't have to be in the same location. After all, how often do we interact, unless I need something". This leaves no time to schedule anything face to face. I have called on few occassions to get voice mail and leave a message stating "would like to review blah blah", and may get a return call a couple days later with the response, "got your message, is that taken care of?" I guess I am adjusting to this new style and will continue to do so. This is the style, it is what it is "Osmosis Mode".
