The Never Meetings

Tuesday morning. Meeting at 8.00 am Perth time, 10.00am Sydney time. I was given a new number to call so was expecting lots of problems. Called the tele conference number and was told that the conference hasn't been initiated yet. Listened to the call waiting songs till 8.30 am. Put down phone and called again. Conference still hasn't been initiated. Gave up at 9.00 am.

Same Tuesday. Marketing conference at 11.30 am Perth time, 1.30pm Sydney time. They are supposed to call me. 20 minutes passed, still no call. Called supervisor and asked ' Aren't we supposed to have a Marketing meeting?' She replies ' Yes ..but the head of marketing isn't here! I'm not sure where she is, but I'll give you a call back when she gets in'

'Ok'.

Not sure whether I should continue on with my work i.e. more phonecalls or wait for their call. Decide to wait for 30 mins. No call. Continue with work.

Received an email on Wednesday, no apologies for missing the meeting, just a new time for another marketing conference for Thursday.

Received another email stating a different time for Thursday conference. Update calendar.

Thursday. Receive another email stating ANOTHER different time for conference. Update calendar.

Come Thursday. Am waiting by the phone for the scheduled 2.15pm Perth time ( 4.15 Sydney time) marketing conference.

It's now 2.55 pmPerth time , 4.55 pm Sydney time, 5 minutes to close of business time for Sydney HQ. Any chance the meeting is still on??

Again, no emails, no apologies, but I will be waiting for the new scheduled time tomorrow.
