[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As an employer, if I drop a thousand bucks on a conference fee, plus another couple grand on hotel, airfare, and meals, I expect my money's worth. Leaving a conference early for something other than a serious emergency doesn't go over so well in some circles. Funny - over nearly twenty years as a parent, I know I've missed my fair share of "important" events, even a birthday here and there. The only one that sticks out though is the first time I missed a Halloween. Not sure why that one ranks up there, but then Halloween is a big deal in my house. I doubt my kids even remember though. I gather most of the people posting here are parents of little kids and don't have the perspective that some of us who have been there, done that, might have.[/quote] Oh come on 'employer' OP isn't talking about missing the conference but a networking event the last afternoon. [/quote] +1 common sense here![/quote]
