13359233, Who schedules a meeting at 9:00am in the morning at 7:00pm the previous night?

My manager - that's who!
So it's my WFH day and he added no dial-in option.
Also 4 other people's WFH day.
And I know we have 2 people who come in at 9:15am and stay later.
This is why Friday does not rhyme with Fun Day.

13359235, Fam, this all seems mad passive-aggressive by your manager

Manager knows damn-well y'all weren't going to be in.
Personally, I'd skip the meeting and WFH as usual, but the again I don't have to worry about being written up or fired for missing meetings.

13359239, your manager is sol... nobody paid to check email at 7pm.

and he knows folks wfh... kick that shit up the chain if it's a real issue imo. otherwise he'll sort his dial in option right quick.

While my role is not directly critical to operations, I work on a team that handles a lot of systems that would stop this billion dollar beast in it's tracks if things were to stop working. Emails roll out all hours of the night. At this point I just check email on the phone to be sure no fires are burning. I'd-a-caught that shit and said "So, no go to meeting?"

13359246, been there... no longer. and glad for it.

I'm not the one putting out fires, I just need to know whats burning.
*me looking at phone*
"oh hmmm, that shit over there is on fire again"
*me turning back to watchmen*

I would do that when I worked from home... but since I commute now I shut it right off the moment I'm out the door.

13359261, No, I know what he talked about
Posted by handle, Fri Dec-13-19 02:05 PM
I didn't attend the meeting (WFH) and since he had no dial-in number/Skype/Net Meeting I didn't attend in any way.
The meeting was actually for a good thing, but he's done this several times before.
So he's not trying to get anyone for anything - he's just bad at holding meetings.
We have folks who work from home 4 days a week - he has to keep them in mind.
It's just being inconsiderate and unprofessional - many people I work with do this too. It's the culture of the team/division.

mine be having a 9am in person mtg on Monday mornings. but this the same nuh that bounce out damn near every thursday and go to his friends crib at the beach.
when i first got xferred into his group, i tried (even though i hate driving in in traffic, and tend to take early mtgs from home or on the drive in, on the phone).
bust my ass to get there at 9am and for 3 out of 4 mtgs, it was canceled when he either no showed or notified us at around 8:45.
man.
they don't be high on my priority list now.
peace & blessings,
