Last year, I asked my line manager if my contract could be changed from hourly paid to salaried as I've almost been at the company long enough to be eligible and my performance has been great (so she tells me). She promised she'd raise this with her manager (who interviewed and hired me) and get back to me.
6 weeks ago, I asked again, she thanked me for reminding her, and said due to some unforeseen instability in the sector, she'd need to have more chats and get back to me 'soon'. I've heard nothing since..
I feel it'd be inappropriate to bring this up again. We work from home and rarely have any meetings. So it'd be awkward to send yet another reminder. But, I also desperately want to know so I can plan accordingly.
AIBU to think it's a "no" but she won't be upfront about it?
Or is 6 weeks a short period to consider such request?
