With only hearing one side of a conversation they know nothing about, they decided that the confident person must be correct because?
This guy has never survived a meeting that should have been an email.
Oh I work for the government my friend. I actively disrupt those meetiings, I complain out loud that they could have been an email, I take great joy in pointing out that none of our "feedback" is ever implemented and that the meetings are an ego massaging exercise.
Consequently, 75% of the regular attendees like me and 25% want to stab me really bad, but we do now have fewer meetings.
Are you in a meeting right now?
That depends, is there a shit job that I want to avoid?
Existing is a pretty shitty job
I don't even get payed for it :/
...Ron Swanson? Is that you?
I sometimes send emails that probably should have been meetings. Here's a couple pages of dense text and bullet points, I'll need your feedback on most of it, so please get back to me ASAP with an equally long email, thanks.
Yeah but doing it through email still has so many benefits. You can refer back to it years later if needed, you can think out and rewrite your points, include someone else later without restating everything...
"For the last time, mam, we're NOT burning down the orphanage! "
I will never forget when my tourist ass was bumbling through O'Hare on my way to my gate and this dark haired woman who I have dubbed the Executive Raven went blasting past me in a pencil skirt and 3-inch heels with her little rolly suitcase clacking behind her and I thought, "damn."
Then I got to my gate and she was already there waiting for her own flight, she'd whipped out a laptop and an earpiece and appeared to be running the entire world so that it wouldn't collapse in the three hours that she would be on the plane.
You meet a lot of these people in airports. I think me and the OOP don't meet a lot of them, otherwise.
