    Unless you're in a senior position, then I'd be inclined to say that you're away and can't make it.

    No need for hints on where you work, best to keep it anonymous.

    i received a text telling me i have to be at work tomorrow evening for a staff meeting.

    Was this directly sent ot you or just to all staff? Did you answer? If not I'd just say you're away for the night.

    It was sent to all staff as far as i know and i haven't answered yet.

    I think i'm going to say i'm away and leave it at that i'm just worried about being disciplinary hearing, i'm just pretty sure they can't if i'm off on holidays

    You're on annual leave and you got what sounds like a group text. Politely decline because you're away with the family, and don't allow them to set a precedent where you can be called in for a meeting on your days off.

    Might be no harm to ask one of your colleagues what it was about though.

    Aren't you over in Spain (the UK, Poland, wherever) at the moment? Sure with the dodgy phone systems, the text probably didn't get delivered until tomorrow .... ;)

    Unless they pay you to be on call there is no requirement for you to come in during an approves & scheduled annual leave break.
