I had a meeting scheduled with HR today to discuss a possible promotion. The woman from HR didn’t show up. No email, no phone call, nothing. I dropped by her desk 15 minutes after our scheduled start time, and someone said she went down to the Cafe or something.

I understand we all miss meetings once in a while, but this is fucking important to me, and I’m pissed that this fucking bitch from HR doesn’t have her fucking shit together.

The part that pisses me off the most is that I’ve still got to meet with her at some point and be all like “Oh, don’t worry about missing our meeting. It’s no big deal. Blah blah blah.” Usually, you blow off a meeting and I disable your fucking network logon or something.

I hope she catches the clap from a toilet seat. Bitch.

Maybe she’s having second thoughts about your promotion due to someone’s anger management issues?

Yeah, that’s bloody annoying, if it’s habitual behavior; OTOH, no biggie for me if it happens every once in a while.

Some years back, the HR manager of the outfit I was working for insisted that I had to report for a meeting with him, would set a time and day, then cancel at the last minute. This happened _four times_ in a row. Finally, I just said, “Look, call me when you are ready and I’ll go right then and there”.

He later jumped/was pushed out, so there’s that.

Have you by any chance missed any meetings that are important to someone who isn’t you? :dubious:

She just called to reschedule for later this afternoon.

“Heeeeey, Winston? Hey, how’re you doing? Glad you were able to reschedule. We’re giving that position to Jeff, okay? Keep up the good work, slugger.”

Not showing up for a meeting without providing notice to the people you’re supposed to meet is unprofessional and rude.

Well come on! Obviously a double half-latte is much more important than some schlub who wants a promotion, right?

Priorities, man!

Lies! I’ve had meetings in the past that were _vitally_ important to me, and you weren’t there!

I don’t understand why HR would be involved with giving a promotion. In my industry HR only gets involved with personal issues like conduct, new hire orientation, or current insurance benefits. What if everyone in your department agrees to it, but HR doesn’t? Why would they say no? Serious question.

Seriously. He’s never been at a single meeting that was important to _me_.

NONE of you have EVER been to any of my meetings! I’d complain to my HR rep, but they don’t answer my calls any more.

Is anyone else picturing an open window when they read this?

Some of you may have been at my meetings - there’s really no way to know.

She was being unprofessional. I’d complain to HR about her.

Was there ever a guy there not wearing shirt. If so, that was me.

I tend not to post about personal or work issues.

She’s probably a Moderator. 🙂

She’s probably Ed Zotti. You’ll be banned shortly.
