Top 7 Reasons Why I Hate Meetings

I am a cubicle dweller.  It’s not so bad.  I have three and a half walls that define my space.  Sure, I have no privacy and can hear every conversation around me.  But I make the best of it.  I have decorated my nest with the necessary tools for motivation.  Pictures of my kids.

I’ve accepted my fate as an office drone.  Most days, it’s an okay existence.  Other days I am forced to attend the dreaded staff meeting.

Here are my 7  Reasons Why I Hate Staff Meetings:

  1. Being forced to sit through a two-hour meeting and only 10 minutes of the discussion affect my job.
  2. Thinking about the “To-Do List” that sits idling on my desk.
  3. That one co-worker that knows everything about every subject and has to expound on it for 20-30 minutes.
  4. Let’s face it, it’s hard to appear interested in any subject for longer than 20 minutes.
  5. Why are conference room chairs so hard?
  6. Nothing is every decided.  It is always assigned to someone to research.

And the number one, main reason I hate meeting………

  • 7.  Being forced to interact with ALL of my co-workers!  (I kid, I kid.  These are jokes people.)

Fellow cubicle dwellers, do you have any reasons to add?
