If a contractor says they are going to be doing work at 1:30 pm, knowing full well that the people they need to see are leaving at 2 pm.
DO NOT Show up 15 minutes past the deadline thinking that all will be well. It won't be. You will have a very cranky, non-cooperative individual on your hands. Whose time has been wasted.
Just because as a corporation we choose to pay extreme amounts of money to be told how to manage ourselves, a little courtesy goes a long way. Makes the sting of cutting those very large checks less painful. So, respecting the various calendars, appointments and just the individuals time is a sign of respect. When a consultant stops extending those common courtesies, well contracts can be broken.
If you set a time, stick to it. It makes a better impression and the world a brighter place.
