Anyone have one of these, whatever they are?
Do you think they're acceptable to use in meetings?
I got a Fidget Cube and toying with the idea of using it under the desk in meetings.

If they make a sound, would not be acceptable. Also, if you work with jerks like me there is a 100% chance someone makes a joke about you masturbating under the table.
Honest question, do you think it would help you focus, or would it just be a pleasant distraction that you hope is more acceptable than a smartphone? I fidget pretty bad, this could be a helpful option.

In what way could this ever be considered appropriate in a meeting?
If I pulled something like that out in a business meeting I would expect to be asked to leave.

If someone pulled one of those out, or a fidget spinner in a meeting I was holding, I would call them out in a heartbeat in front of everyone.Originally posted by D'z Nutz

Shit like that has no place in a business environment like a boardroom. At your desk, fine, but in a meeting, if you are disposable, you just made the top of the list.

As would I (and I'm sure I'd get a call from HR shortly after for some sensitivity training or something after cause of hurt feelings).Originally posted by spikerS

Hell, I've called out people for delaying the start of MY meetings because they were busy showing photos of their kids on their phones. Go do that on your own time.
What the fuck is a fidget gadget
Here's the original fidget gadget:
But it's okay to use a phone to surf/email/etc during meetings - there should be a new meeting handbook made up for old fart like me. Too old school I guess - phone goes on silent in pocket anytime during a meeting, start, end and in between unless there's a called break in the meeting. Fidget shit should mean a dry eraser to the noggin - hit the fidgety one hard enough to knock them out and that problem is solved.Originally posted by D'z Nutz

Some mom comes up with the design in the 90s, didn't go anywhere, couldn't afford keep paying for the patent, stole by the Chinese and mass produced at low cost. Kids went crazing over them.Originally posted by flipstah

It's suppose to help you focus especially for ADHD kids but I don't think the study is fully vetted.
It probably will be this generation of snap bracelet.

They don't but patented stuff does tend to be harder to reach beyond China.Originally posted by spikerS

I'm betting everyone who's opposing this sits in meetings on facebook and instagram on their phones.
At least I'm trying to keep my head up and look like I'm listening...
Personally I don't mind if it's out of sight and doesn't look like you are jerking off. It can't be any worse then people playing with their phones or trying to stack markers and learning how to flip/spin their pens dropping it on the table every 10 seconds.
As long as phone on silent, FB and Insta don't make distracting noises.Originally posted by jwslam

If a fidget cube doesn't make clicking noises, it's pointless.

Fidget Spinner = Fad = Toy
Bring one to a meeting I'm putting on or in and I will ask you to put it away.
