Why do you have meetings on a Sunday and why are you attending them?

Only way I could see this is if you were traveling Sunday afternoon for a Monday client meeting. Even that seems a bit much

Wasn’t that the meeting where the person who scheduled it forgot about it and then their phone died so the meeting kept on getting moved all evening

Truth 👆 even when it used to be mcgarrybowen this was rather normal.

Yeah have this happen a lot of weekend pitch work, the dreaded Sunday check ins.

About ten years ago I had to skip a Sunday meeting (at Havas) due to a family emergency. A few months later I lost that job. Some bosses never forget, never forgive.

Never had one

I had to work all day easter for a monday deadline. I don’t make nearly enough money for that bs.

They’re right

Wouldn’t attend if there were

Always remember the very key phrase. And really this is the key to success…”I’m not available due to a family commitment”. If you’re not saying this, you’re letting the festering BS continue.

Why? Not everyone is Christian. When I lived in the Middle East, our weekend was Thusday/Friday. Then they changed it to Friday/Saturday.

It's just another day on the calendar.

I don’t think Sunday meetings being criminal is about it being a holy day, just part of the designated two day weekend we have in the US. Someone asking you to join a meeting on your day off is ridiculous whatever day it is. For us Sunday is one of them.
