Hi
@tim2000s ,
That's a good point to be honest, not really sure what the outcome would be. Just to be spoken to with respect in the place of work and not be humiliated/ outed in front of peers. After having time to think about it and spending the day at home I'm just gonna draw a line under it as basically can't be bothered going through the effort of it all and don't see a long term future there anyway.
Rickimac - I think your decision is a good one.
I would however suggest you diarise what happened, and maybe make a few notes about date, time, who was present and so on, then just file that away.
When the time comes in the future when something similar could happen, in your shoes, I might, as well as putting the appointment in whatever logging system you use, I might be inclined to spend a very specific email to your line manager, with the subject matter of something like, "Medical Appointment - 6th June 2018" (or whatever), so that anyone scanning will clearly see it. I would also ask my line manager to share it with other managers on a "need to know" basis.
Should another meeting crop up, such as this time, I would repeat the process, and include interested parties yourself.
I'm not suggesting your email should be incredibly fullsome, and certainly wouldn't suggest you get very specific, but you can, with some thought, make it clear the appoinment is important and that it relates to a medical condition of which they are aware.
Of course, in an ideal world, the guy should have remembered, but for all we know he was just panicked, thinking about who would attend in your stead. You could even consider that he appreciates to work you do and was concluding the meeting would be the poorer for your absence. We're all human and therefore sometimes can be real pains in the pants. He's no different.
