    Much to my annoyance, I spent a lot of my time in those sort of meetings. They always seemed to end by forming a committee to discuss the subject further. Hey, why make a decision when you can delay it to the point the problem has been resolved by itself or someone else :)

    Had many meetings like that when I worked for Boeing!

    Not only were they mind numbing but put me behind schedule on my projects!!

    I worked for a business that had a meeting mindset, at the first one I pointed out my shop was closed for half a day because of his meeting. Thereafter I ran my branch almost as a separate business with regular phone contact with the sales manager, before opening.

    Even working for a grocery store, we have meetings

    A little over a year ago I went back to working nights, meetings are just one of the reasons I’m glad to be away from working days

    It all depended on who was in the meeting. I found myself being very careful with my invite lists.

    I guess those aren’t comic books they’re carrying which of course is the secret to sailing through a meeting

    Meetings waste time, plus you get saddled with Action Items, making them doubly bad.

    In the first lecture of Geography 101, the prof said, “Geographers spend a lot of time in meetings.” I switched courses immediately, and never regretted it – geologists don’t sit in meetings.

    When I first started, I had a co-worker mention “battling to stay awake” during meetings, and I thought he was joking, or seriously exaggerating. I learned that he wasn’t…
