I will not be scheduling with him going forward. After a very long time of looking forward to meeting with him, I messaged him over the weekend and asked if he had availability on Tuesday. He didn’t say yes or no, but rather to contact him Tuesday morning.
I contacted him Tuesday morning and it turned out that shortly after my request he planned a trip out of town. At no point did it occur to him to let me know so that I could plan with somebody else. Moreover, he just expected that I would schedule with him when he got back. There’s a real sense of entitlement, a lack of respect for the client, and a lack of professionalism.
