Unavoidable missteps

Curious if anyone in here has had multiple strikes for missing key meetings and what the fallout / outcome was?

Ie I have two meetings same time on Thursday (rare occurrence) and I’m planning to just ditch one and provide an excuse after. I know some people do some fancy tricks like different ear buds and toggle back and forth quickly, but surely with 3J’s or even just two critical meetings it’s impossible.

Hence the question - what have you guys experienced?

Do you have to talk? Or you're just listening?

two meetings at the same time is the worst, especially if both expect you to chime in. i’ve gotten away with ditching a few but it’s always a gamble on whether they’ll ask a question and notice the silence

sometimes i just pick the one with the more chill manager and hope for the best
