I don't recall having any meetings on a weekend in Switzerland. Well, my first day of work in China was Wednesday 4th of January. One of the first things I was asked was whether I could join a customer meeting Saturday morning 09.00. Obviously I agreed to join this meeting, thinking that it would be something like Saturday morning in Beijing 9-11.
After agreeing to join I was informed that the meeting is not far away, only 45 minutes. In a next discussion round I learned that it was 45 minutes by plane. Finally we left Friday evening for two full days of meeting returning late Sunday night. What amazed me was that it wasn't a meeting with 3-4 people who would give away their weekend. No there were over 40 people in this meeting! Can you imagine this in Europe?
