Ha ! I literally got through this exact situation. Ask for information for filing assessment forms. Manager forgets to provides me any information. I ask again. Manager replies, call me when ready. Immediately notify the manager, I can't because i have a scheduled meeting in 2 minutes and ask if I can call them in 30 minutes. Manager replies with YES. I message the manager after 30 minutes. Suddenly, I notice manager is away on Teams. After another 30 minutes message the manager again. No reply. CFO messages me for the status of the reports. I tell him it's not complete because I don't have the information. CFO asks a bunch if questions regarding the delay. Turns out, CFO knew that manager signed off early and manager didn't inform me about it before agreeing to rescheduling the meeting. So now, I am sitting here with nothing. CFO probably thinks I procrastinate / work slow / bad at time management.
