Nope this is not some salacious romance story, folks. Sorry to disappoint 🙂
I wonder if anyone have experienced situations where your organisation (the Employer) decides to hold a meeting/talk/discussion etc on the Eve (I bet you guys thought of a lady, eh?) of an important date or public holiday or long weekends. And this meeting/talk/discussions will take place as late as possible – 5pm, 6pm or even at night.
Imagine, coming Thursday is a public holiday, and a memo arrives today from your boss, saying there’s a compulsory talk on “How to save money by switching of lights” by a consultant at 6pm on the eve (Wednesday).
Or how about a meeting to discuss “company trip” on eve of first day of the fasting month?
National Day falls on a Monday, so you’ll have a long weekend, and most of us will have planned for a trip. Imagine on Friday evening, the CEO wants to meet the employees and give his monthly talk.
I guess you get the point.
If happens one time, OK la. But if all the time – Chinese New Year, Deepavali, etc pun sama. People want to go back and try avoid jam, but employer has other ideas.
Is it a rarity or normal thing that happens everywhere?
