The Comedy in Meetings: 5 Reasons Why They're a Source of Entertainment

People who know me well know I dislike meetings! Some say it's because I don't want to be engaged. Not at all! Quite the opposite. The following are the comical reasons I've found them less productive over the years: (Disclaimer: I don't dislike all meetings :-)

1. Time Warp: Ever felt like meetings have their own time zone? ? It's like entering a vortex where minutes feel like hours, and the clock refuses to cooperate. It's a mystery worthy of a sci-fi movie!

2. Scheduling Circus: The scheduling—aka the ultimate balancing act. ?? Trying to find a time that works for everyone feels like herding cats. And those meetings that could've been an email? Ah, but they weren't because they were too critical to put in an email, chat, or phone call. ??

3. Purpose Pursuit: Ah, the quest for purpose in meetings—it's like uncovering buried treasure. ?? We navigate through everyone's unique jargon and tangents, hoping to stumble upon a nugget of wisdom. Spoiler alert: it's often buried beneath layers of bureaucracy.

4. Zombie Transformation: Witness the miraculous shift from lively individuals to weary souls as the meeting progresses. ??♂? It's like watching a real-life episode of "The Walking Dead," but instead of zombies, we have tired employees. A nod to our resilience, perhaps?

5. Error Extravaganza: Last but not least, meetings are a treasure trove of humorous mishaps. ?? From technical glitches to awkward pauses, there's always something to laugh about. It's like attending a live comedy show but with a unique office twist.

Embrace the lighter side of life and enjoy the show! Choose meetings as your last option if you want to be productive.?? #Meetings #Humor #WorkLifeBalance #LinkedInFun#BeProductive
