At work we have meetings every once in a while to get the group of clowns together and get everyone on the same page. We can either bring up things we found on the system that might help others or we are told about some new report and blah blah blah.
Today we had one. I found parts of it amusing. One girl asked a question and one of the managers that is known to be a bit on the difficult side immediately went on the defensive. She's a lady that likes to argue but only if she can yell the whole time. Her face went from a normal lady shade to nice red color within minutes of trying to prove her side. The funny thing was that the question was asking for guidance from our management when the VP said she'd ask around, the manager lady was only fighting for one side. The original idea of having these meetings were started with good intentions but really the meetings end up being an hour and half of information half the team has already heard 4 times and the rest of the meeting is people just talking over each other. Most of the time it's just too funny and I would enjoy it more if the room were better ventilated with some high power AC running through it.
Last Friday at work we had a townhall meeting where our President talked a bit about the company and wanted us to ask questions. He gave the option to write our questions down and submit it anonymously before the townhall. So like the good little soldiers of hell that we are our group submitted quite a few questions. Several questions were regarding our sometimes functioning system and other questions were regarding our "somewhat difficult" manager lady. The president or his secretary thought ahead and summarized our paragraph long questions and nicely edited/censored our questions. Heehee! That was kind of fun to hear what he decided to read and what he decided to leave out.
In the end it was worth it because even though we had to wait out in the heat we got a free lunch after the townhall.
