The new manager decided he wanted to schedule a meeting with employees at 7pm on a sunday. Most of those employees have children. Its 750 and my child and girlfriend are stuck in a meeting because the new manager cant think about the repercussions of his employees having to keep their children up past their bedtimes.
That said, the employees themselves are fantastic; smiling, intelligent in what they do, and helpful.
