CZinSC Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I hate when people schedule useless conference calls because they have no idea how to do their own jobs so they have to get 5-10 people on a conference call to discuss "what needs to be done". Then it turns out they are west coast based ( i'm east coast, company HQ is in CA ) and they schedule these useless friggin conf calls at either 12pm or even worse, 4pm on a Friday! I swear I'm going to start scheduling Monday morning 9am EDT meetings with West coast personnel and make sure they know the meeting is mandatory.

JFlowers Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 CZ, I feel your pain. A large portion of my team is in India. So we have 6am EDT conf calls so they can take the call before they leave work for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CocoBolo Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I'm on vacation today headed to double tap championship get a frantic email telling me how the CEO's want this and that and how they need a conferene call tomorrow. Ignored it for hours then responded, I have some time open on my Calendar Next Turesday! Yeah, I call them SAMs Stupid Axx Meetings. I will not accept a meeting invitation that does not include a statement of the Objective and an agenda. A meeting is a place where a decision is made by the hightest level of un-knowledge.

HRider Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 The sad thing about most meetings is that important, productive things will be discussed and everybody will leave confident that someone else is going to do something about them.

McAllyn Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I find conference calls very productive... for my Angry Birds fixation. Mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
