[quote=Anonymous]Very simple, mention it and let your boss know you can't attend. Hopefully the person is considerate enough to say "oh wow, my bad. Yes, I'll reschedule" I'm a practicing Christian and will say that I remember things like Yom Kippur and Passover partly because I have so many friends who celebrate but do forget less common holidays or celebrations such as Nowruz with which I don't cross paths often. It would be totally acceptable to say something. Far less important, but last year I told my boss that I was skipping a team event because it was my birthday. If I'm going out to dinner I'm doing it with friends and family that day, not my colleagues. They went forward with it since part of our team was in from out of town, but my absence was fine. OP, you mention that you too often put work over family. Hopefully you'll also take this lesson to heart if you're ever a manager and an employee mentions putting priority on something family-related. [/quote]
