You know the funny thing is that, if I wanted to, I could start at 9am at my job, and attend meetings after unproductive meetings all the way to 5-6pm, and in that meeting have virtually nothing to do, except log into piggington like I’m doing now and/or buy and sell stocks from Charles Schwab. And I could probably do this for 3-4 days, every week if I really wanted to.
However, if I wasn’t working… I would probably be at home right now, occasionally log into piggington like I’m doing now and/or buy and sell stocks from Charles Schwab too…
The difference is… I’m getting paid a lot to attend many unproductive meetings, that allows me to log into piggington to post and occasionally buy and sell stock from Charles Schwab, given a cell phone subsidy and medical/dental/vision plan, and getting a 401k match from the company too….And the actual work I do need to help get done only occupies a fraction of my time, that could be done much quicker if companies just didn’t get so entangled in a lot of bullshit meetings. I have a theory. 80% of meetings, you’re listening to someone talking that doesn’t really move the needle.
