I don't know if this is really a retaliation per se, but...
I hate meetings. I really do. The only time I call one is if there's actually something that needs to be done. Most people seem to call them because... well, who the hell knows why.
Anyway, if you call a meeting for 1:00pm and ask me to be there, then you better be ready at 1:00pm. I can't stand it when some ass calls a meeting and is the last person to fscking get there. I have a 5 minute wait policy. If you're not there within 5 minutes of the starting time, I'm gone. If you really want me there at that point, you're going to have to track me down and I promise that won't be easy.
This actually happened last week. Someone called a meeting for 10am. It's 10:05. No one there but me. I have a ton of sh!t to do, so I leave. At 10:20, they come looking for me.
"Hey are you coming to the meeting?"
"I was there but no one else was, so I figured I had the wrong time."
"Can you stop by now?"
"Sorry... meeting was only a half hour and I have another one in ten minutes. Email me the minutes."
