Last minute cancelation

Just 1 week before the trip, management decides to tell me that the trip has been canceled because of the current economic sitution. I'm not so pissed that the trip was canceled, but rather because they had to tell me 1 week before when everything has been arranged and confirmed.

It would have been really much nicer if they could have told me earlier instead of 1 week before the trip. Yesterday, the trip was still approved, today it has been canceled. Gee, did the economic situation change so dramatically from yesterday to today?

Yes, senior management has no control over the current economic situation, but they do have control over how they are going to manage it.
