04/15/2005 | So totally if I was a boss would I hold meetings to motivate the lazy, praise the efficient, and provide needed additional skills. For goodness sakes boss, the lazy people that won't work when you talk to them, don't think they will by any more of that talk. Fire them! Employees realize it is a privelege to have a job, and bosses don't be long-winded and treat your employees with a certain degree of respect.

12/04/2004 | Waste of time...especially where I work. Usually a meeting is held under the guise of discusssing something critical to our jobs. However, the manager has already made up her mind about what she wants us to do. When she gets a bee in her panties, she tends to run all over the place with NO thought of anyone else. It would help if she actually knew what we do on a daily basis.

09/25/2004 | Anything brought up in a staff meeting has either been discussed 5 times by your manager or there have been 5 e-mails sent out about it. Once the meeting is over, you can count on another 5 discussions and another 5 e-mails. Then why are staff meetings scheduled, you ask? Because management likes to hear themselves talk. So I would do something productive during these meetings, such as draw squiggly lines up and down my notepad. Other times I would create task lists for the weekend, or consider how many paperclips it would take to cover the entire room.

09/24/2004 | listening to some bean counting windbag pontificate about their vision for the future and how they are going to make me happier and more productive is about as motivating as beating me into submission with a tire iron.

09/04/2004 | Staff meetings serve the purpose of getting everyone on the same page; sometimes it's like electric shock treatment. You can even utilize this time to give motivational tools, speeches etc but by no means are they motivational per say. As a matter of fact they normally are boring, annoying and counterproductive.

07/21/2004 | There are two things that Americans do more than anyone else in the world- (1) pointless violence and (2) pointless staff meetings. Yes, I have to attend because it's part of my job. . .but meetings are the biggest waste of time and resources.

07/17/2004 | Oh,yeah! These are just great. Almost as much fun as getting a root canal. I've never been so bored and miserable in my life...especially when you have to listen to some anal retentive boob who loves the sound of his own voice drone on about something that doesn't have a thing to do with my own job. Back when I had to suffer through these it was the closest I ever came to lapsing into a coma.

07/08/2004 | Ok if done right, if your sharing ideas and every one is allowed to contribute they are great. That said if you have listen to some boss drone on about what ever the pet peeve of project for month is, well that is just a waste of time.

07/08/2004 | These are now getting tedious. So much precious time has been wasted through meetings. I'm all for progress, but I think better preparation and an objective goes a long way than to have meetings about when the next meeting will be.

07/08/2004 | The only people who might be motivated by staff meetings are people who can sleep with their eyes open.
