Slovenians are very punctual. If you have a 'sestanek' at 9:00, you should be there at 8:55. It is common to offer water or coffee at the start of a meeting in a Slovenian office. In schools, 'roditeljski sestanek' is a formal event where parents meet teachers to discuss progress. Slovenians often complain about having too many meetings, a common 'office culture' trope.
