Is there something that has been niggling at you during this past year on the job?
Performance reviews offer a moment to broach those conversations with your manager, but as an employee, we don’t often tend to say, ‘Hey, I want a performance review’.
But niggling questions should not stop you from asking, ‘Can I make a time to talk to you?’ Inevitably, the bounce back answer will be, ‘What about?’ Be assertive and explain that you would rather not do this on the fly, but would like the clarity of a quiet space for ‘a catch-up before the year ends’.
