God save us all from pointless meetings! >_<
I just wasted two hours of my life listening to some old women ramble on
aimlessly about good communication. (Irony?)

My ex-wife always used to say I never listened to her-- or something like
that, I think, maybe.

Why are you going then? I just don't go to meetings like that, and ask
someone who is more involved in it to tell me any important points that I
should be interested in.

Because I would probably be subject to a disciplinary hearing if I
didn't turn up. (Unless I had a damned good reason...)

Well sorry, but to me not going to a meeting because there is no point in me
going *is* a damn good reason. Why would the company want me to waste my
time going somewhere that wasn't going to benefit me or the company when I
could be doing other stuff?

Because this company truely *believes* that this meeting was actually
really, really important. The Director of HR herself has flown over to
the UK especially to talk to us about this critical new employee
performance enhancement system.
...except that what was described could be readily figured out by
anybody with an IQ in excess of 80 just by reading the assessment form.
And the form itself is only 3 pages long, so God knows why it took an
hour to explain it...

I think it's obvious why it took an hour... the HR Director needs to keep
her job, and not let anyone get the idea that it's very possible that a
semi-trained chimpanzee could do it in her place. After all, the task must
have been complex and requiring specialized talent if she has to fly over
personally and spend an hour going over the thing in what I can only imagine
was *excruciating* detail. :-)

Yes... excruciating... that's a good adjective. >_<
