[quote=Anonymous]A commenter in the other thread had me thinking about this. She wrote that her boss "held a meeting to discuss every case the firm had and the meeting lasted until 11pm or later." She was a new mother at the time, and attending the meeting was difficult.

I don't have any children of my own. I am a woman in my early 50s.

Managers who do this to exclude seem to have a "playbook" they follow. LoL. (It's not really funny, though.)

1. Held unscheduled meetings at [b]1 a.m. in the morning[/b]. I wasn't invited. It was an important meeting, and I was told that's how dedicated they were, that they would conduct this meeting at 1 a.m. It was a technical test run of a project.

2. Held unscheduled meetings at 3 p.m. on a Friday afternoon, just impromptu meetings not normally on the calendar.

3. Held unscheduled meetings at 6 p.m. when contractors charge 40 hours and are not allowed to go over. If you already worked and charged 8 hours, you're going home before you know there's a meeting.[/quote]
