More meetings!
A meeting is an event where minutes are taken and hours wasted.
- James T. Kirk
We are getting close to a major milestone and what does management do? They schedule more meetings! More meetings that the entire team has to sit in and accomplish no productive work. The meetings are causing many of us to have to work late into the night. Why is it that when the schedule gets tight management feels they need to waste more time? Why can’t they simply come by and ask? That would give personal attention as well as get status information.
Meetings, Meetings and more Meetings!
Does this happen in your company?
A fundamental Law of Bureaucracy is: Meetings will increase until they exceed the work day hours.
Grand finale to that one is another Law of Bureaucracy:
After all is said and done, a lot more is said than done.
