Just releasing pressure.
I have to kind of ‘give’ a meeting in half an hour. It’s one of those meetings which are pointless but have to happen because Upper-Management want them to happen.
Not looking for advice or anything… Just venting.
ARRRRRRHH!!!
Hate annoyingly spaced thread titles.
RARGGG!
Explain what is meant by annoyingly spaced thread titles.
(Darn… foiled by messager board deleting repeated spaces.)
I find meetings to be quite useful and productive, as long as the people in the meeting are motivated and all try to get useful discussion done. I suspect what you hate is your co-workers, not meetings per se.
By your title, I thought that you would be complaining about going to a Two-Minutes Hate meeting. Or you work was organizing a Klan rally or something. It’s refreshing to know the truth.
So does upper management in the UK use words like “utilise” and “paradigm shift” all the time in their meetings?
Well, in this case I hate that the meeting is about tightening up something that’s already diamond-from-bum tight.
Think of Dibert and you have a good starting point for imagining where I might work.
Hah, I see on edit you tried to be silly. Must be frustrating.
YARRR?!
YES!! Company-speak. All of UK companies now seem to use it. I hate it.
Off to MPSIMS, where there will be coffee. And bagels.
What, no donuts?!
GARRRRRGAAGLYYY
Found on the Internet in various places:
Grab the bull by the horns. Take charge of this meeting. Remember, you’re in charge of your future!
I feel your pain, man.
My entire day on Friday consisted of one pointless for-the-benefit-of-mgmt meeting after another. Because it’s not like I had any real work to do or anything. :rolleyes:
Two words can save your sanity.
