I like meetings with an agenda and an outcome. Don't have a lot of those.

We’re supposed to have meetings like this… had a meeting about it and everything. I still get sent invites to reoccurring meetings where these details do not actually change, and they have the audacity to have me as “mandatory”

People who book a meeting to flex their egos instead of just doing their jobs.

It’s 6 numbers Susan*, this doesn’t need to be discussed in a committee.

*person may or may not have been named Susan

I don’t “do” meetings

One definite advantage of WFH... I can attend useless meetings all day long and still be productive.

I have somewhat the opposite probelm recently. Can't get a meeting with the people I need, and they won't make a decision over email. So no decision is made.

@killramos just said he doesn't do meetings, try to keep up Susan*

I even tried to subtly point out this was not meeting worthy.

Their response was “we will discuss this at the meeting”

Sounds like you just make the decision and ask for forgiveness if it's wrong.

What I actually do is make the decision and pretend the boss said it was ok in an offline conversation. Trying to see if he notices.

I do this as I hate meetings with just shooting the shit

I've been tracking my basement reno materials cost in and its such a piss off how much prices increase in such a short period of time. For example, I bought some 5" 90 degree elbows for some HVAC work 3 days ago for $5.60 each. I was 3 short so I went to pick them up today and they were up to $8.49. 51% increase in a few days.

Add to that that the stickers on items aren't updated to match what the till says so then you have to fuck around to get the price difference refunded.

I'm triggered by your tire pressures.

[SKR]

How come you run so little air in your left rear tire?

[ExtraSlow]

It's no accident that I have it on that screen when I take my pics. I'm trolling someone, maybe myself...

Example?

When you bring up a new point/inquiry that is unrelated to anything the person has done prior, but they go "Oh, let me go double-check".

No, you are not going to double-check. You're going to check.

Imaginary example:
"Hey, do you have PS5s in stock?"
"Just got in for my shift. Let me go double-check."
