>That movie scenario where the guy has a big presentation, but it's also his daughter's dressage recital or whatever, and if he misses the presentation he'll lose his job? That doesn't happen. Sure it does. If you are scheduled to present to a major client you can't easily reschedule for next week. Especially if it's presenting something that will have impact. Now you probably won't lose your job if you tell your team why you can't make it and it's legit but frankly you may if you no-show.
