    I was once in a meeting about how we were having too many meetings. Nothing was resolved in that meetings and the management took away the points discussed into another meeting later on.

  4. SoTerribleOpinions says

    We should have a meeting about this.

  5. Got_Good_Now_What says

    The other 70% weren’t at the meeting.

    I often say, ” I’ve survived another meaning that could have been accomplished by an email”

    And the other 70% are waaayyyy longer than they need to be.

  8. The_Infectious_Lerp says

    ONLY 30%?????

    It’s not really so much that the meetings are unnecessary that the wrong people talk.

    I don’t need my 90% clueless GM to coke and joke for the first ten minutes, I need the departments that are trying to communicate to get the brain to brain interaction directly at the worker level. The people doing the job know what’s going on more than their middle managers do, that’s where the discussion needs to happen.

    I’ve literally been in meetings where the one guy who could answer all the questions management had wasn’t even invited because he was “too low” on the totem pole. So it was just ten minutes of one of the higher ups who was delegating the tasks to him basically just being confused as shit until I mentioned how the guy they didn’t invite knows literally all of what they wanted to learn.

    “Oh maybe he should be in this meeting, then.”

    No shit?

    No, I’m thinking 95% are unnecessary. Where you all could get shit done in a slack exchange.

    Bosses justifying their existence.
