Why we hate meetings

Email|Link Posted by mwelch May 15, 2007 09:15 AM

Opinion Research USA has a "new monthly study examining tolerance thresholds" in various professional and personal scenarios. Tolerance is an interesting word choice. You need a lot of it in meetings. According to their research the top reason we hate meetings? Disorganization and rambling. Next most hated things are "People who interrupt peers and try to dominate the meeting" and cell phone interruptions. Other issues? No bathroom breaks, no food. I'm getting worn out just writing about it.
