    Default Stupid meetings

    Why would you have long, boring meetings first thing on a Monday morning?

    Looks like a mosh pit in here with all the heads bobbing up and down.

    That is all.

    I love the meetings that result in the need to have a meeting!

    Happy to be consulting at a place small enough to have 30 minute meetings once a week and that's enough.

    As much as I hate to I have an Engineering/Sales meeting every Monday at @8am, it's only to review what has come in the previous week and needs to done for the upcoming week. It takes about 35-45, depending on what's going on / needs to be done.
    We have more meetings than we should, most just end up being waste of time/resources and I've found them to be used as a way manage task by committee, translation; away to avoid accountability. It’s been my experience when a meeting is used to manage task by committee the person calling the meeting is either; over their head (not qualified for their position), aren’t prepared to take on/commit to the task (lazy) or don’t have the testicular fortitude to make a decision (no balls).

    If there is any single word in the English language that defines why mankind has never reached its full potential, that word would be: Meetings.

    Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
    ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?

    We would return to a manufacturing super-power if someone just threw out all the chairs in every conference room in America. Meetings would last 15 minutes and accomplish all the same stuff if everyone had to stand the whole time.

    I'm lucky in that 90% of the meetings I'm in are teleconferences so I can tune out and still be productive.

    You know things are bad when you schedule "meetings" in your calender that dont exist so you have some time to work. Sadly you have to keep switching them around so people dont know which ones are real and which ones are work.
