Ever had to attend a meeeting at your work and you are required to attend because you have to cover for your group, only to be there and spend quite a lot of time listening, and or being asked about something that you know has already been talked about previously. It is such a waste of time being on a meeting where you really feel you are unproductive because you know they could have set that meeting and for the other people to be discussion themselves alone - and it could move forward without you, but they just wanted you to be available... JUST IN CASE!!
Oh my. it is really been a tiring day full of people in a room half of which are not listening to the group talking about the agenda and they do seem as though they do not also want to be there themselves!
So have you been to such a meeting? where you really thought it was just a total waste of time, and that you could have done so much more at your own workstation, finishing whatever it is your task calls for.

Most of the meetings I`ve attended to were very unproductive. I have always felt that it much depends on who is directing the meeting. Many people talk too much and several of them only talk about themselves and about their experiences and they do not contribute to enlighten anything.
