The closing date for Annual Discussions was Mon 31 Jan.  An extension was given to 7 February which is today.

Here is my gripe...

Whilst I understand diary commitments and urgent meetings take priority, why is it myself and other admin staff are still bottom of the list when it comes to this sort of thing?  Am I not entitled to an annual appraisal in the same way as another Manager?

I welcome your opinion because I seriously cannot make head or tail of it.  After today my records are going to show that no discussion has taken place between myself and my boss.  How can I be appraised or agree any details if that does not happen?

This activity will close out and my records for 2011 will be left incomplete.  As you can imagine I am not happy.

Is my boss just pre-occupied with other more important things or is he lazy/forgetful/uninterested?  Automated emails have appeared in his inbox in relation to appraisal sign off for others, hence my concern.
