Meetings!! Fucking boring and time consuming

What do you think about meeting?

1)to resolve certain issues or to make certain processes to run smoothly

2)to follow up on daily routine

3)straight to the point and to address the issues need to be solved

4)time conscious and finish within specific hours/time according to agenda

5)discussions should follow the agenda without any sidetrack.

6)provide solutions and don't keep going in circles (which we don't even know what's the point)

Well, I found out that a lot of companies can't even do the above properly when it comes to meetings.

A lot of these uneducated fools are actually in top management level who does not even know about ways to host/chair a company meeting.

I found out that there are a lot of sidetrack and unnecessary and unrelated topics. And it's time consuming. Can you believe a meeting can held for the same purpose of more than a day and last for 10 hours/day (talking about effectiveness! Hahaha)

Meeting procedures are meant to be fast and straight to the point. Not story telling ( a lot of high management falls into these category) It was like hearing your grandmother telling about her life time experience. Sorry! I can't accept that.

That is why, during the meeting, I only listen to those important things, I don't like crap.

I don't comment or voice out doesn't mean that I don't know or I am not interested, I am just trying to save some youthfulness(time) for all of the senior management who aren't going to get any younger.

Actually before the meeting start, I'd already knew what are the things those monkeys are going to talk about, so feeling disappointed but had no other choice(to sit in for 10 hours), listening to those same old stories over and over again. I always tell my wife and share with her what will happen and what will the discussion be like even before going to the meeting, and see how accurate I am.

Not I am boasting that I had superpower that I can foresee the future. It's just that I had attend lots of meetings in different industries, and kinda make me understand the thumb of rule of the content of the agenda (when I receive one). Without fail, it was around 80% accuracy(which I am right about it), which make me feel damn boring during the meeting.

For, for those old timers, I here present you an old Chinese saying "Only mentioned the things you know, or it will make you a fool but if you do not share the things that you know, it will make you disloyal"
