I don’t get this. The colleague showed up to the event the night before and then ghosted. Of course there was no back up plan besides someone else winging the slide deck. Do you all have understudies for everything?[/quote]

At a major event that took six months to plan? Yes, you prepare for contingencies. Feel free to fire her, but at least reprimand whoever organized the event for their own negligence. [/quote]

This is bizarre to me. We organize a big company event. Everyone has their part to play. If they can’t play that part at the last minute, we generally are prepared to muddle through - but it won’t be perfectly seamless. I can generally give my supervisee’s presentations, but I am not the SME on all aspects of their role, nor intimately familiar with every slide and point they were going to make. If there are emergencies, sure, we’ll deal - but if an employee is unable to perform due to getting too drunk with clients the night before and that’s the reason we’re scrambling? Yeah, that’s 99% a problem with that person, not the meeting organizers.[/quote]
