New responsibilities set in an annual appraisal

[MakeTeaNotWar]

I have my annual PDR later this morning.

Last night my manager sent through goals and objectives for the coming year - a combination of team goals and some new responsibilities specifically for me. However under performance objectives is a list of new tasks that seem to be the laborious parts of her job that she is passing off to me. I'm not thrilled about that.

Any tips this morning how best to approach while still wanting to add value? Or AIBU?

This will sound snarky - sorry - but if I were you I'd genuinely welcome the chance to show I can do bits of my boss's role to build up a promotion case.

Maybe op doesn't want a promotion
My understanding is objectives should be jointly agreed. This feels like bad practice.

I'd love to take some of my managers work. She does some really meaty stuff.

What if she handed over the thankless tasks, which is what it sounds like has happened here.
What if op isn't interested in progression?

@StealthPolarBear has it - it's the laborious dull stuff that is being passed on

How did it go?

It's irrelevant. When you are senior enough you too can delegate work. If you don't want to be in that position you need to progress to a point where it doesn't happen. Not sure where that point is as I don't know anyone who has progressed that far! And I know more than one CEO.

The bottom line is that the manager can delegate work. I'm not sure what "bad practice" this constitutes, but it's perfectly normal and common. Your understanding may be your opinion, but there is no law that says that objectives or tasks have to be agreed.
