Now I don't particularly need my hand holding or anything so it doesn't bother me on a personal level. We have a laugh in nights out and when he's in the office, which is rarely recently due to another project and given my own workload and picking up his I constantly feel like I'm behind
Anyway had my appraisal yesterday, went better than expected, we've agreed that i need to dedicate a day and a half a week to the infrastructure improvements they hired me for, whereas I've been firefighting since I got there. Also that is get a little more feedback from him about what the workload is, and to tell other departments to get lost with inane requests
Anyway I fully expected that pay discussions would be a separate discussion, I'm used to negotiating when it cones to money, seems it doesn't. Anyway I've been offered a rise above inflation but below the companies annual growth, not sure if to feel aggrieved or not. Felt like I've been stealing a living because I've not been able to start the infrastructure work, but I suppose the regular ten hour days and 15 days of holiday left over tell a different story

How on earth did you manage to be on target while posting in every single thread on the forum?
