    Well, I was on pace for promotion 3 months ago. I just want to be sure I still am in the eyes of whoever will make that call next October/November.

      Do not hesitate or doubt! Definitely ask straight away! And good luck! P.S.: ask him before he leaves. As sooner you sort everything as better to you

        Yeah, that's the thing, it looks like we are going to be self managing. So I guess a more specific question is, should I ask HR and my current boss who will be reviewing me in 6 months? I think it's only fair.

        If the HR says "we", you are done. If they care about your recommendation, suggest customer feedback as the basis of evaluation.

          Then I work on my resume, but a 6 month stint would be shitty to explain. Ian are you guys hiring over there? (only CPian I know offhand in my industry)

            If you are self managing, just give yourself the review. It may be tiring running round the desk to ask then answer questions, but it'll be worth it in the long run!

              Well resigned, for a better position elsewhere. He hired me 6 months ago, and is now leaving midway until my annual review. I think the tentative plan is to have our team of 3 self manage, because it will be too costly / time consuming to hire an outsider. My question is, should I discuss my progress with him before he leaves? 3 months ago he said I was on pace for a promotion, but with him leaving. I'm not sure if anyone above him knows what my output has been. Is it out of line to ask if he has passed upwards my accomplishments before he leaves?

                Haha, I don't think so. Maybe his boss is being replaced by my boss (we don't have contractors, but his new position is managing only contractors). Also, we got him to tell us where he's going.

                  go talk to his current boss, express your concern, ask what will happen, and how responsibilities will be in the future. :)

                    Good advice, his boss is the department head and works remotely from his home across the country, but I will try to give it a shot...
