I am fed up with meetings really. Just because there are too many of them!! Life is one endless story of meetings. I will tell you why I am bugged about them.
Firstly, only around 20% of the guys have brains. Of that only half is positive and are willing to look at what should be done than what has happened in the past. Rest is Sherlock Holmes. To tell why things do not happen. And with no solution on what should be done if the situation is so bleak. That’s not their job. They will find out, that’s it. Someone else should solve the problem.
Ok somehow you can be Enlightened Zen monk and stand these 20% guys. Try to atleast stimulate their brains. Others are my big issue.
In that 80%, worst is the set that believes it has brains. Make one fantastic PPT, that I wonder what their job is?! Jokers should find a job at beauty parlors, as that’s the only thing you can see in their presentations. No content, absolute zilch in what they are supposed to say. And with the presumption of having achieved something really great!! And they will have backers too. Similar hare brained creatures.
And then the balance are ok, can be suffered. After all they disturb only the krackjack and coffee and busy with their sms.
And all of them invariably have the life-threatening issues spoken only at these meetings when they should have called attention long time back. And feel so cheated for having been made to operate in such conditions and still deliver.
And after all this, there will be reams and reams of paper minuting actions that will be opened only in the next meeting. No one will implement anything of what is spoken and agreed. And you will be called again for meeting for reviewing what we failed to do on the last meeting’s action points.
Normally I try to look at things humorously, but I am so bugged about meetings that I can’t see anything humorous at all.
Only wish I have, whichever place I go, heaven or hell, there are no meetings atleast there. Because in this lifetime, I think I am destined only for boardrooms.

Ok Your company is really performing well. We conduct meeting only to decide when the next meeting should be held so that all the people without any miss can attend the meeting and joyfully waste the time.
Note: Total time wasted is directly proportional to the number of people in the meeting. The more the better. But see to it that it doesn't exceed office hours.
Vicious.. and i think I know why !
Been wonderinf which catagory , and subcatagory , i belong to!
