people who insist it is imperative to jump on a work call with them on a Sunday morning only to tell you something they could have put in an email you read anytime between now and next Friday belong in a 10th circle of hell designated for those too evil for Dante to cover
One thing I learned working in IT: unless you’re paying me for 24/7 on-call, or something is actually physically on fire/someone is dying, it can wait until Monday.
The hierarchy:
This meeting could have been an email.
This email could have been a Slack message.
This Slack message could have been an implicit understanding.
There's a lot of downsides to working in local gov, but at least nobody has *ever* wanted to meet on a Sunday morning unless something was actively on fire.
The meeting that could have been an email is also nicely rare, at least for me.
which is to say: let me know if you need an alibi
