When they already know you’ve brought in your sad vat of worthy homemade soup. Because you’ll be paid for those hours too, right? No, you’ll have to make smalltalk with business twats late into the evening and you’ll be reimbursed for your time with two dried-up canapes. Yes, definitely schedule in a drinks reception and networking for four hours after you’re meant to have clocked off. ‘We should make this an evening thing too’ How about you CC in their partner on the flirty conversations you heard them having at the Christmas do? Making you accountable for a professional task is the lowest of low blows. Planning it around them leaves them with no excuse and no way out. Then, closer to the date, the other person can justifiably claim to have missed it in their inbox, and unfortunately they already have something scheduled. The humane thing to do when scheduling a meeting is to carelessly chuck out a date and time on email months in advance to look as if you’re doing something useful. Next time they try it, hit them with a skilful defensive move: ‘I only got better through experience, this could be a great learning opportunity for you.’ Ha. Only the true scumbags of this earth would force their peers into public speaking. ‘You’re so much better at presentations than I am’ OFFICES are snake pits of deceit and betrayal, where evil co-workers plot to make you do more work while they go for lunch early.
