I agree with most of Cerek's advice, except for that last line. I would NEVER tell a supervisor I'm going to give the company less than 100% effort. (I might do it, but I'd never say it.) Anything you say may be used against you someday. Maybe at next year's review your boss could say "you did ok, but we feel you could've given a better effort, especially after what you said last year", and reduce your raise/bonus/whatever based on that.

Also, if your policy manual is that old, I'd try and get a new copy. If the company's made policy changes without notifying you about them, you can't be held accountable for not following them. At my work, whenever there's a change to the manual, they print the updated section, give everyone a copy, and require us to sign a form that we received & read it. No form means no proof that we were aware of the update.
