When has a team meeting accomplished anything? I havent been in one yet.
I’ve come to learn that if there isn’t some conflict created in a meeting then nothing gets accomplished. I kind of try to make it a team sport. Just making the other side prove without a reasonable doubt why I should help them.
If you do it right, it can be a great culture building tool. That said, most folks who run such meetings have no interest in it and/or are clueless idiots.When has a team meeting accomplished anything? I havent been in one yet.

Yes, the entire concept of "The Great Detachment" (like quiet quitting, et al.) is artifice. It's not new and it's not news.You disagree?

My last job, one of my office mates would be gone for hours, going around yapping with everyone, then say she had to stay late cause she had so much to do.Meh, that shower is no different than a 30 minute coffee break...
Nothing worse then having daily/weekly meetings about getting work done. Bonus points for middle of the morning or afternoon that makes you stop what you are working on.My last job, one of my office mates would be gone for hours, going around yapping with everyone, then say she had to stay late cause she had so much to do.
Early part of the year was always busier, so we would have a two hour staff meeting where we were told repeatedly to get a bunch of stuff done. I always took what work I could do without a computer and sat there doing work. One year they seemed pissy about my inattentiveness, and asked me what they had been discussing. When I replied that we needed to get work out and that’s what I was doing, the other peons clapped. Next year’s meeting was about 45 minutes of get your work done so I feel I made some progress.
But it is real. I know many people in that situation.Yes, the entire concept of "The Great Detachment" (like quiet quitting, et al.) is artifice. It's not new and it's not news.
