How to say in written language that you are not allowed to be absent from meetings and are not allowed to ask for leave?

After working in the workplace for a long time, you will find a very interesting phenomenon:

When the company holds a general meeting, usually everyone is vying to sit in the back and leave the people in front The seats were vacant, and only those "unlucky ones" who came late would sit in the front row angrily when they saw that there was really no room in the back.

Why does this happen?

I think there are several reasons why people like to sit in the back:

First, sitting in the front row is too close to the boss. If you want to check your mobile phone or make a call, If you are drowsy or something, your boss will notice it at a glance. And sitting in the back, away from the leader, you can also hide behind your colleagues, making small moves that are not easily discovered.

Second, if you need to leave for something (for example, to answer a phone call, go to the toilet, go out to smoke a cigarette, etc.), if you sit in the front row, your boss will see you at a glance. The leader will be unhappy. And when you walk out from the front row, all employees will see it, which makes people feel uncomfortable. If you sit in the last row, you can get in and out easily without anyone noticing, how comfortable you are!

Third, when you sit in the front row, you will sometimes look into the eyes of the leader who is speaking, and you have to make some expressions to respond, such as smiling, nodding, and making signs of approval. It is too tiring.

Fourth, if you sit in the front, you will sometimes be asked questions. For example, when a leader talks about the completion of tasks this year, he may suddenly say to someone in the front row: "Manager Liu, tell me why your department's profit target has dropped by a hundred percent this month." Five out of five?"

Then the person has to stand up and answer the question in public. If you answer well, it is considered normal. If the answer is not good and the leader is dissatisfied, he will reprimand him in public:

"I think you are emphasizing objective factors. The key problem is that you do not have a high understanding, do not take measures in place, and do not act in a timely manner. ..."

Alas! How shameless!

However, to put it bluntly, sitting at the front during meetings only has disadvantages and no advantages? Of course there are benefits.

1. Hear clearly.

Not every meeting is boring. Some reports will be very exciting, and the speakers are of high quality. If you sit in the front, you can hear clearly without being disturbed by people whispering behind you. .

2. See clearly.

Sometimes PPT or diagrams are used in report meetings, and sometimes the fonts are relatively small. You will definitely not be able to see clearly if you are sitting at the back. But if you are sitting in the front row, near the water, you will see the problem very clearly. If you understand it thoroughly, you will also remember your notes completely. A colleague in the back row wanted to borrow his notes to copy after the meeting, but humph, I wouldn’t lend it to most people!

3. There are advantages and disadvantages to making eye contact with leaders.

Many people are afraid of the embarrassment of sitting in the front row and often making eye contact with their leaders, or they feel that it is too tiring to make all kinds of emoticons in order to cater to their leaders.

Actually, this has pros and cons. A young employee I know deliberately sits in the front row during meetings, takes notes carefully, and reacts accordingly to the leader's speech: nodding and smiling, tilting his head in confusion, raising his head in high spirits, etc. Over time, The leader really remembered him. Later, one time, the company was going to send ten young employees to participate in business training abroad, and the leader specially named him to participate. This is by no means the only instance of this.
