[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d like address this but need advice. Employee is seeking a raise and promotion. After discussing this my boss, we made a joint decision that it wasn’t able happen at the time the employee made the request, but we agreed to short time frame to reconsider (6 months). The employee is valued and we wanted to see how some of decision-making factors might look different. I communicated all of this to the employee about a month ago.

She made an appointment to talk with my boss about career advancement. She went out of her way to hide this from me.

My boss reiterated the exact same message that we had agreed to prior.

[b]It’s not the request for a conversation that is the problem. It’s the fact that she purposefully hid it from me.[/b]

[b]WWYD? I definitely feel that our relationship is impacted. [/b]

If it is a surprise to you that the employee hid the meeting from you, you need to have a conversation with her, in which you mostly listen, about why she did that. Be prepared to hear some things about your management style that you don't like or disagree with. Do not "punish" her by telling her your relationship is affected. Reflect on what she says.
