Like, let's say you have dinner plans at 6:30pm and you get a call from a partner around 5:00pm on an urgent matter that has to be completed by tomorrow morning.
In this situation, do you:
- cancel your dinner last minute
- say you'll get to it as soon as you can and then just go to dinner and start afterwards
- ask if it's okay to delay starting until after your plans
I genuinely don't know what I'm expected to do in this situation. I had a similar thing happen last week, but didn't have any plans that night. And it got me thinking about what's actually expected of me in this situation.
