If it's a free call, I'll wait forever, just counting how much I'm earning for doing nothing.
If it's not, give them 10 minutes then leave, send them an email, and reschedule.If you have to add a

Oooh , I'd say about.....
15 mins, then re-schedule.
Invoice the supplier directly for the .25 hours, so your client can be
compensated for the suppliers mis-use of your time.Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.Comment

There must be a mathematical formulae for working out the waiting time taking into consideration, length of conference/meeting, importance of meeting, number of people in meeting, value of disruption, waiting time etc."A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment

I think it's more of a trade off betweenOriginally posted by Paddy View Post
1. how important the meeting is to you
2. how important the meeting is to the organisers (if you didn't organise it)
3. how important your presence at the meeting is
if 1 is on top then wait
if 2 and 3 are more important than hang up and wait for someone to email/call your mobile with an apology for being late!Coffee's for closersComment
