Rescheduling isn’t the main problem.

Low effort is.

Everyone gets busy.
But how they handle plans tells you everything about respect.

Here’s the difference.

A good reschedule looks like this:
They tell you early - not 20 minutes before.
They take responsibility - no excuses, no blame.
They offer a new day and time - specific.
It gets locked - confirmed and done.

Rule: If they cancel, they replace.
Same message. Same moment.

A disrespectful reschedule looks like this:
Last-minute “sorry” with no new plan.
“This week is crazy” with zero specifics.
They vanish after canceling - then act like nothing happened.
They try to downgrade you into “maybe” or “later.”

Rule: If they cancel and don’t offer a new time, you’re not a priority.

And your move isn’t anger.

It’s standards.

You don’t need to punish them.
Just stop giving unlimited chances to sloppy behavior.

Quick test:
If they reschedule, wait for the new plan.

If it doesn’t come, you have your answer.
