I Was Surrounded by Young Sleepy Auditors on a Friday Evening. Frankly, I’m Shocked.
I wish I was kidding. Like, really.
Imagine my shock.
I was in a client meeting on a Thursday afternoon. It was an intense discussion. A $2 million contract was on the line. We were closing in.
And then, I received a meeting invite from Adrian, who introduced himself as our company’s auditor.
Sensing something serious, I clicked on the email pop-up.
It was a meeting invitation for Friday evening, 8 pm.
At that instant, I was besieged by question marks.
What happened?
Confused & Besieged
I forwarded the invitation to my team.
Of course, that meeting was for Friday after working hours. I would hear no end from Isabelle, the Gen Z in my team, and the younger ones if I insist on their attendance.
So, I mentioned nothing about attendance.
Instead, I asked them to check with the auditor for the agenda. I would be stuck in this client pitch for another 2 hours.
Dora came to me when I was back in the office.
