Meetings

[planet planet]

Don't get me wrong, I'm a saleperson and I love meetings. All the clients I work with, however, spend all their day in internal meetings. I would hate that. I get the impression that sometimes people meet just for the sake of having meetings.

The best is when you have meetings to discuss upcoming meetings.

I believe that is a meta-meeting. A meeting about meeting.

I work for a university. I know all about meetings. I avoid meeting with faculty at all costs.

Meetings are miserable. The worst are those people that talk just to be heard when they have nothing to say. Often, they're only re-hashing things that have already been discussed. And just about every meeting has that one person that does that shiznoise.

We have one every week, which I think is excessive. 50% of the time it has nothing to do with me or the company as a whole. It's two guys arguing over how some odd procedure was done. Then my boss is one of those who won't discipline individuals - instead he yells at everyone and then we all feel like crap. Not only that but the offending person then thinks that everyone does it. It's seriously screwed up.

My meetings are all virtual, via telecon. I usually put it on speaker and mute and pay minimal attention while posting heavily on GRB.

We should have a meeting about this thread.
