Or sometimes it's wise to filter out when some of your colleagues are filling out meeting time with nonsense. You only get brain fatigue and get nothing for it.

Is it nonsense to everyone or just you?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In my experience, meetings are 90% nonsense and usually could have been summarised in a single email.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I definitely agree with that.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh, everyone but themselves. Some people have next to no self-awareness, you see. And if you have no clue what I'm talking about, chances are you're one of them.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I know what you’re talking about. But if you’re the only one in the room not paying attention, maybe you’re the problem?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Who said I'm the only one? I'm not.

It was more of a rhetorical question, as I have no idea what your situation is. Also, you have no idea what my situation is.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Of course, which is kind of my point here. But your rhetorical question only works if the situation is very specific, which is weird given that - as you point out - you have no insight into my situation at work. To summarize, you have no case.

I can ask whatever I want, and I’m not trying to make a “case.” This is a chat room, not a court room. Calm down.

I’m not trying to make a “case.”

You see, sometimes people use expressions like that in an informal, half-joking manner. But I'm starting to get a feeling for why you seem to be taking this conversation so personally...let's do something else now, shall we?

You’re reading a lot into this. 🥹 If you didn’t want to talk about it, you shouldn’t have commented. 🤷‍♂️🍿

Well, I was amused at first, but not anymore. Good night.

Glad I could amuse you! Good night
