One of my DR's is leaving to retire, he's well liked at his level and his team. He's only worked as a permanent employee for a year but was a contractor for a couple of years before that. He's due his end of year appraisal before he leaves. His performance has been average, his communication with me poor to such an extent where I have had to.put in 15min end of day catch ups as he fails to update me.or answer emails, I've asked him.to give me.weekly snapshots arrange meetings in the afternoon when he's more communicative. I have spoken to him.several.times over this issue.amd in truth has made things difficult amd frustrating. Thing is as its his last appraisal how honest can I be? He has mainly.hit his objectives but could have performed better in some. Do I keep.the scope to his objectives and say thanks for everything and leave it there? I dont want to end on a bad note, it hasn't all been difficult.
