I work in a team with all males. My supervisor doesn't take me seriously even though I met my deadlines and ensure my reports are accurate. He changed my OKRs to goals that are unachievable for my level in the organization. He promised to edit my OKRs , Its over 6 months , i keep reminding him to change my OKRs but they havent been changed . We will be having our performance review this year. Can i discuss this with my Manager (the overall boss). We had a training on OKR reviews and we were told that OKRs are filled by employees while supervisors review and sign off, but mine was done by my supervisor. I really worked hard last year and I wouldn't want to have a very poor performance. Please Advise.

I would bring it up in your review but would phrase like you want the Manager to review the appropriate way to revise OKRs, but play it like you aren’t aware that your supervisor isn’t following procedure. Hopefully, this will prompt the manager to check in with your supervisor about the appropriate way to manage this process.

It sounds like it's time to bring it up one more time, in writing, with your manager and if you don't get a response in short order, you should escalate this to either their manager or to HR.

I would do a reminder, in an official email, and CC the head boss. Keep it polite and formal, but maybe mention that it has been discussed several times and you still have not seen those changes.

I would suggest that you should keep your requests documented. Best is to ask in email in a very diplomatic way. Eg. I refer to my request for review of OKRs. As mentioned on xxx my OKRs are not prepared by me hence I need certain changes with your help ..... Might be a written documentation will make him act fast.
