To think I shouldn’t have to attend 100% of meetings if I’m part time?

I work three days a week, but our staff meetings fall on a day I work.

AIBU in thinking that I shouldn’t actually have to attend all of these? Not to be purposefully obtuse about it but sometimes I could really do with leaving a bit earlier and tomorrow is one of these. I am wondering if it’s worth arguing that I really shouldn’t have to stay.

There is never anything important covered in the meetings, by the way.

Lol, let us know how that one goes.

If you're a teacher then you don't need to attend all of them. Sounds like you're on a 0.6 contract in which case you only need to attend 60% of them. Our staff attend all of them but claim the time back in lieu throughout the year.

It's not a good look.

Are they paid?
