...late night meeting

...had an important meeting last monday evening...the meeting started around 8.30pm and lasted around 12.30am...arrived home quarter past one in the morning...kids and my lovely wife  were all sleeping and enjoying their sweet dreams...one of my colleagues jokingly said that the meeting has violated his human right...but the management has it own argument that the only time everyone is available (free) is after the office hour...and it happens only once in a while...i can only smile as i used to work with an audit firm nearly 20 years ago...and working until late night during the peak period was/is considered normal...some of our colleagues even slept in the office...i remember that our management never asked us to stay back late...they only gave us 'crazy' deadline...the report has to be completed by friday or worst tomorrow bla bla bla...so we have no choice but to stay back late anyway in order to meet the deadline hahaha...that's life...if you don't like it don't be in the game...

  1. Prof,
    I guess when you are in the finance/accounts department it's normal,but as age is catching up staying back is a big NO with all the health complications and family commitments. I guess we need to balance our life- dunia and akhirat.
