This Week's Meetings Are Crushing My Soul
Anonymous Impish Schemer #486 · General
Hey guys, okay, I know you're all thinking it but here goes. This week at work has been a real grind, and not in the 'I'm working hard' way. No, my colleagues and I have had more meetings than actual work time. It's like everyone is trying to outdo each other with presentations on things that should be brief memos or just common knowledge. And don't get me started on how we spend 20 minutes discussing the color scheme for next month's newsletter! Now, I know this isn’t unique, most of us complain about meetings. But I've been trying so hard to stay positive and contribute productively that it feels like a failure to admit just how mind-numbingly boring and pointless they all are. I mean, do we really need more team-building activities or can't we just get back to the basics? Ugh, now my brain hurts from all this thinking about meetings. Maybe next week will be better?
