SHUT THE F*CK UP IN MEETINGS!
Does everyone have meeting that could pretty much be wrapped up in five minutes or not held at all, but you are stuck in there because everyone loves to hear themselves talk? I have a shit load of those, probably at least two a week (is that a lot? who knows). I hate meetings. Despise meetings. Ever since Al Gore invented the internet and subsequently e-mail, the honest need for face-to-face meetings should be much lower. However, as time goes by, I feel as though the number of meetings has only increased (maybe its because I am super important and in high demand, but probably not).
Anyway, I feel like every meeting has at least two of the following people:
1. The person that rambles on with nonsense that does not need to be discussed at that time.
2. The person that doesn't say anything the whole time, but then just when you think the meeting is over, has like, 14 really stupid questions. They are the equivalent of the student that reminds a teacher they forgot to assign homework.
So, for anyone reading this and going into a meeting, please think about the other people in that room. For some, they think it is their time to shine, but for most, this is simply time that is taken away from us doing actual work (rather than coming up with ideas that we will never act on) or finding sweet videos online. If you have to speak, keep it short, and to the point. No one really cares and those notes they are taking? Its not because you are coming up with profound ideas. If you have questions, limit them to ones that are truly relevant and are not idiotic. Save those for e-mail later.
