Re: Vent on planning and Lateness

Wow, that sounds so much like me, especially the part of being unable to stop the emotions from running away and ruining everything.

I was in the middle of making my lunch when I got an email from my boss insisting that I join a meeting in progress right now! No planning, no being able to prepare, not even knowing what it’s about. But since it’s my 4th day on the job, I don’t want to risk not attending (it’s a teleconference and I work from home).

So instead of being able to gain anything from the meeting, I’m fuming about the audacity of the ambush method of calling the meeting, whether or not the batteries on my phone are going to run down, what’s going to happen when the presenter is finished, and why on Earth is it acceptable to throw me into a meeting where the presenter is dropping so many f-bombs and I can’t say anything about it.

I’m considering talking to my supervisor about it. I don’t think it’s the best use of my time.
