Yet we continue to have them all day long… Honestly, if there are more than 4 people in a meeting, you might as well just cancel it, since nothing useful will get done anyway.
A few reasons why frequent and long meetings are t3h sucK:
- They break your working day into small, incoherent pieces on a schedule incompatible with the natural breaks in your flow
- They are normally all about words and abstract concepts, not real things (like a piece of code or a screen of design)
- They usually contain an abysmal low amount of information conveyed per minute
- They often contain at least one moron that inevitably get his turn to waste everyone’s time with nonsense
- They drift off subject easier than a rear-wheel driven Chicago cab in heavy snow
- They frequently have agendas so vague nobody is really sure what its about
- They require thorough preparation that people rarely do anyway
Looks like someone’s got a bad case of the Mondays.
Your comment implies that there is such a thing as a “good” case of the Mondays. This is untrue. Your comment therefore implies a contradiction and must therefore be false, which implies that you fail @ comments.
