A loved one’s official hours
are 8 to 5.
His new boss
has been scheduling
regular update meetings
at 7 pm every night.
The boss’ reason
for this?
Everyone in his group
is free then.
They are NOT free then.
They are eating dinners
with their family.
They are watching
their daughters play baseball.
They are,
most likely,
completing work tasks
they couldn’t complete
during business hours
because they were fully booked
with meetings.
The loved one
and many of
the extremely skilled people
in his group
are looking for new jobs,
jobs that don’t require them
to attend meetings outside
of core work hours.
Don’t schedule meetings
outside of core work hours
unless it is an absolute emergency
OR
you’re paying people extra
to attend those meetings.
No one is truly ‘free’
at 7 pm.
