Mercury turns retrograde on November 25th, and along with it will go any hopes of being singled out for a job well done, rewarded for your efforts, or lauded for your talents. It's a little disappointing (not to mention dispiriting), but the truth is that supervisors have their noses pressed to the grindstone these days and are far too busy racing to keep up with deadlines to notice anyone else. Keep hurt feelings to yourself and wait until December 15th when Mercury resumes direction. This is when everyone will be in a much better frame of mind and more generous with their praise and appreciation.
