Today, I drove over to the office for the scheduled monthly staff meeting. Once there, I was told that the meeting had been cancelled because some folks couldn't make it. I had not been notified, which was annoying in itself since I'd taken nearly an hour of my day to get ready, drive over and drive back for a meeting that was not. On reflection, I thought to myself: the monthly staff meetings were scheduled weeks ago, everyone was informed. To cancel the meeting because a few folks couldn't be there sends a message to me (and the others who could have attended, perhaps) that I am/we are not important enough to hold the meeting as scheduled. My question: why should I bother to attend future staff meetings?
