NOT COOL to tell people they have to fly cross-country for a two-hour meeting, then, after they've made all their plans and arranged pet care/childcare/transportation/etc., tell them days before departure that the meeting has been pushed back a month. :(
Accept that you are a cog in the wheel of Biglaw. YOU WILL SUBMIT.
ReplyDeleteWe have submitted, but neither happily nor gracefully. It's actually not a big deal for me (although I'm disappointed to cancel social plans on the NY end), but some of my coworkers have already arranged to fly in grandparents to help take care of their kids, or have bought companion tickets for family members, etc. It's definitely a reminder that our schedules ride on the whims of those in charge.
