The Meeting Maniac
Don’t you hate it when…
Your boss schedules an endless stream of needless meetings. It’s not for an exchange of ideas. It’s to fill her compulsive need for constant companionship. And to fill her days so it appears as if she’s working. But the only thing she’s doing is sucking away the time you have to actually DO your work, instead of just talking about doing it.
Wouldn’t you love to…
Tell your boss that, in the interest of efficiency and good time management, the new corporate policy is to limit meetings to 15 minutes. Tell each participant (except the boss) to come prepared to the meeting – with a cup that appears to be holding coffee but is really half-filled with another substance such as mud, cold water, even live worms. When 15 minutes have elapsed, tell the boss the meeting is officially over, according to corporate policy. If she drones on, all meeting attendees should emphatically announce the end of the meeting by throwing the contents of their cups at the boss. This “fear factor” will bring the fun back into the monotony of boring meetings.

Aye, the captain of the meetings - he/she likes to hear their own voice on the conference calls; no one else gets to pipe up. They speak up for "the team" as if we're a kiddie camp and can't even wipe ourselves, making us look like incompetent workers - yet we're the ones making the numbers so they can keep their jobs.
