What do I dread most about my job? Well, having lunch in the cafeteria....umm.. a close second; buddy... The biggest fear factor is the N number of meetings we have throughout the week to discuss mundane things with an aimless agenda and even more clueless people..
The only constant is the 100% attendance registered at such events; be it a team meeting or focus group discussion or all hands meet or corporate get-together. Various events have different kinds of incentives attached to them and depending on an individual's aim in life.... he/she would shine through these with mind-numbing expertise.
So you would always find " I am born to lead this planet against aliens" guy in a all-hands meet or a " I ate the complete Encyclopedia on coding standards for lunch" guy in all your client interactions. The most obnoxious brethren of this art of "Meetings Visibility" would generally end up being omnipresent at all, they would generally be relegated to the bench and disliked by one and all at work.
The creepy fact is the real ideas or agendas that spark off the meeting is generally always forgotten irrespective of the criticality of the issue and the only constant you take home from most meetings would be strategic info about the weather in some remote geographical locations...
What do i do in my meetings, you ask.......
Well; what else... We all catch up on our sleep which was never completed thanks to the friends meeting at dinner table to discuss the uselessness of all these corporate meets...
