Just had a work meeting...10 minutes maybe, everyone was called into the conference room...

....to discuss some meetings we'll be having over the next couple days.

yes, a meeting.. to discuss... other meetings..



any other silly/random/wtf work stories , feel free to share.

 

@ my work, we get pulled into meetings to discuss things that have already been discussed 50 million times before. In summation, my time is being wasted= I'm losing money because other people can't do their jobs properly, and instead of reprimanding these people individually everyone is made to suffer


Not the same thing I know... just felt the need to get that off my chest

 

I'm at work and just rubbed one out in the bathroom.

 

 

while looking at your sig pic, no doubt

 

When my company has major announcements, they usually have a meeting where the upper executives present the announcement, then that is followed by a series of meetings with the directors, then senior managers, then managers... and each meeting just re-hashes exactly what was said in the original meeting.

 

In a roundabout way, we found out that we would not be receiving bonuses this year via email. Then we have a meeting where we are told that everyone has to read a book titled, Difficult Conversations.

 

What if a tall guy peeks over the top of the stall?

 

I used to report to 3 different VPs. Now I only report to 2 because we let one go.

I decided I'm only going to report to one and nobody seems to mind, so I try to connect on a weekly basis and give an update on what I'm doing. Most weeks I can't reach that boss as he works out of an office a couple thousand miles away , so I just keep on working.

Last time I reached him was a couple weeks to talk about why business sucks right now and there aren't many positive results coming from my desk, he mentioned that we'd be discussing an upcoming raise for me in the next couple months. Ummmmm....yay? I actually don't want a raise unless I deserve it, or I'm going to be quickly kicked out if lay offs happen again.

Corporations remind me of my Roomba, moving blindly in one direction with acceptable results until they hit a wall and spin randomly in a new direction, only to ultimately yeild the same result, spinning around and taking off in a new direction yet again.

 

Stabbed person in the back and other places with needle. Surf net. Repeat. Oh later I have to, yes same thing. Oh then later...make people sleep while sound waves obliterate stones in their kidneys.
