> [@amanset](#): > > I had a meeting scheduled with a guy in IT today to discuss a possible promotion for him. Unfortunately I had a pretty important personal issue to deal with which meant I had to leave the office for a while. I didn’t have a chance to speak to him before hand. You should have done something to let him know. Blowing off a meeting is very bad form. But it doesn’t excuse his behaviour. As for the position itself, did I mention that I’m an unemployed IT guy and I’m seeking employment? ---
