I run a small sales team, and they know me very well. Last night was the Italy v Spain semi-final match of the Euros. Being Italian, this game was huge for me. One of my team, scheduled a client meeting at that exact time (this is not a big or important deal, and the client doesn't have urgency). My team has access to my calendar to make scheduling me into their client calls easier if they feel they need me. I was tempted to fire/threaten to fire him for this... am I overreacting?
*This is obviously a joke* I would never fire someone for something like this. Obviously, cold-blooded murder was my only solution.
