I’m quite sure that most of us has been in this situation and that you will concur with what i say here.
Picture this, your’re in conversation with another person. Let’s say a business partner, a colleague or a friend. At the end of the conversation both parties agree that they need to have a follow up conversation of what they were discussing. So, very politely, the other person, offers you the freedom of fixing a follow up meeting.
You’re free to choose the date and time of your convenience. Well that’s what the other person said, right? That being said, the rest of the conversation goes something like this.
“Ok, so how about Thurday 10AM”.
“Hmm.. Well i won’t be able to make it to office by 10. Let’s keep it at 11AM. Then again, if you can’t Thursday 10AM should be fine.”
Arrg! I don’t understand. They wanted us to schedule a meeting at our convenience and now we have to change it according to their convenience?
Am i missing something here? You tell me…
