After a mtg 3 weeks ago; my bosses boss, E, told my boss I did a great job. I emailed E something she'd asked me for in the mtg and on 1/9 she wrote back, asking if I was interested in talking with her about my 'future opportunities' within the company. I wrote back yes, and spoke briefly with her the next day when she called for my boss. Then I emailed her Fri 1/12 saying I hadn't been scheduled the day she had mentioned, is there a better time? Never heard back. Saw her Wed 1/24; she said she never got my emails, but she's in her office on Mon so I should email her & we'd set something up. I emailed her Thu and left her a VM Fri and still haven't heard back. Should I go to her office tomorrow after work? Should I call her again, or wait and see if she gets in touch with me? There's a lot of change going on at work(new staff is coming in) and I'm anxious to see what E wants me to do, because if it's not an improvement, I want to start looking for a new job. What should I do?

I work in a retail pharmacy, so E's office is actually in a different location - about 15 minutes from my house, but my house is about 25 minutes from work. So it'd take me almost an hour to drive to her office on Monday, and in the email and the VM I said I get out of work at 3 and wouldn't be at her office until 4.
That's why it's more than just a "I'll drop in when I have a second."
Thanks for your advice so far!

I would probably suggest calling her and leaving a message, or if you want an answer I would go to her office when you know she will be there, (ha I am assuming it is a female) But if you catch E at a bad time, it may not be good for you or the promotion, but I understand wanting some answers.

Good Luck!

Be patient. You don't want to appear as an annoyance. You last e-mailed her on the 26th. Don't say anything this week. If there are a lot of changes going on in the office, she's probably swamped. Next week, go to her office. Stick your head in and say "E, do you have time to talk with me now?"

If she doesn't, step away. She may have changed her mind. If she does, she will or she'll schedule something (or have her assistant schedule something) with you.

Try to go into her office after work and talk to her in person. If she disses you again, then I would let it go until she approaches you, calls you, or sends you an e-mail addressing the issue.

To some degree, you need to think about yourself and your needs for employment, but at the same time without burning any bridges.
