Some people REALLY hate company-mandated meetings.

From CNN:

Police said Williams was attending an employee ethics course on the morning of the shooting.

1Williams’ family members thought he was being targeted for the class. Sollie said that although Lockheed said the training is mandatory, employees are selected for the class at random and “it was his turn to go.”

“It’s my understanding,” Sollie said, “that Williams wasn’t pleased that he had to attend the training.”

Williams suddenly left the 13-person class without speaking and went to his truck to arm himself, Sollie said. Williams returned to the meeting and opened fire, hitting several workers in the room before proceeding through the rest of the plant, shooting employees, Sollie said.

He had some screws loose, I think.

As much as he may have disliked the meeting, he certainly would have benefited from it. I don’t think that shooting cow-orkers is all that ethical.

I know that we have those damn “general stafff meetings” at my restaraunt every quarter. 7am after you have closed the night before is no fun at all. Now that there is a precedent…watch out boss…

I hate mandatory meetings and we have them every two weeks. We are forced to take notes and then an auditor comes around the next day asking questions about the meeting. He then reports to your manager if you failed the test. If you get the question right you get a company trinket.

I refuse to take notes anymore. Instead I write to a dear old aunt that doesn’t have email. Then I pray I will be overlooked for the question by the auditor.

Once I was asked a question but it was about our 401K and I knew the awnser <PHEW>

Isabelle where the heck do you work? I think you win the prize for the company with the most jackass approach to meetings ever.
