Without asking or confirming, account lead booked an in-person client meeting that requires travel. Who books ~any~ major client meeting without first checking with the team ?

Sounds like an account person. Schedules first, asks second.

Almost every meeting that’s booked is never run by me or the rest of the team. It’s typically, “I need this ASAP” while someone already books it on a calendar.

*Just referring to digital meetings, impromptu out of nowhere is nuts

*msgs I’m going to be late, in another call

They also typically aren’t familiar with the material being covered in the meeting they’re late to.

No joke, presented info to a client for clarification that I bugged ppl for, client clarified it was a good call out. I shouldn’t be doing this stuff.

I had a similar situation happen. It was awkward. But, I said I’d be dialing in. Stood my ground. And, in the end, the meeting was cancelled and rescheduled to be virtual.

This approach seems like the best option.

For expert witnesses/lawyers

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?

Good evening all,
With my partner we are considering making a move to the countryside of Switzerland, with a gorgeous RE project offering incredible views on immaculate mountains and lake. However, it is far away, and will require 1h+ train/car commute vs. 10 min biking right now. We are scared it will bite us back at some point, although COVID helped w/ remote working being a new norm. The project will be done 2024, so I hope to have a more relax job by then. Any similar experience to share?

I feel inadequate and unsure of how or if to acknowledge the US/Buffalo racist murders and terrorism of this weekend in the workplace.
