[quote=Anonymous]My youngest has a camp this week where drop-off is at the really awkward time of 8:20. Our SVP recently made it clear that meetings are to be flexible for the next few months because kids are at home. Unfortunately, a senior manager outside my chain does not have children at home and doesn't understand why we're not all at our computers between 7 am and 7 pm. They have now scheduled a recurring meeting where I am a major presenter from 8 to 9 each weekday for the two weeks. DH is not around to handle drop-off. I've asked why an evening meeting isn't an option and received a curt answer: it just just isn't. Do I tell this person why I can't accommodate their meetings? Consider our SVP's comment meaningless? I'm a paper pusher who only makes $70k a year, and honestly, I don't get paid enough jump to through these hoops or cancel and lose money on a camp because I can't get my kid there. [/quote]
