In reverse (perhaps) I like my position and even more this company a lot, and have never got on with the uber boss, who this meeting ("review") was with. There's still room for growth here and plenty to learn, if I can develop ways to never speak to him again communicate with him. I'll mention here something I put in a mail about all this.
In the midst of the pummeling I flat out stated, "We have communication problems." and he shrugged it off and continued without remarking on it. This speaks volumes
I work weekends and nights. Although I may have spoken to him for work (mail, IM, quick call) I have not seen him casually since the Christmas party or so, nor will I unless I go back over to days.
And I also try not assign values to the length of lag for email (or even for IM which is even harder). I think however that the only data I have is that there was no substantive response until the meeting was scheduled abruptly. Also see next graph, as this behaviour is common and not just applied when he is being asked to put out money.
Continuing in reverse order (?) this behaviour is chronic. He replied to the second email with 'the busy haven't forgotten you' (and I acknowledged it cheerfully) but not at all to the first, and never answered my query, just scheduled the meeting. I learned to send the second one from previous attempts to get his attention, often for something he had asked me to do/answer. It's very frustrating, and would be even if we got along (which we do not).
And concluding with your closing remarks ... As case in point I do not wish to diminish my appreciation for your thoughts (everyone's here actually) by not responding until now. I was thinking about this crap enough last week without um, thinking about it on purpose.
