Well be a man and tell people to stop organizing fr8ing meetings?

Idiots who don't actually have proper jobs but moan about other people who have even more pointless jobs making meetings.

Managers of this, Supervisors of that, boring sharkty jobs that don't mean anything.

Things that piss me off - this response ^

What's all this "people like you are why we are fudgeed as a planet" bullshark? One guy complains about his work being annoying and all of a sudden he's responsible for the woes of the planet?

As for "Go and do something worthwhile ffs." - you mean like make ridiculously patronising and condescending posts to people in the off topic section of a football forum?

I usually like you on here FT, but I reckon this is way out of line .

I thought the same thing initially, but now I'm wondering if he had his ponytail pulled in a meeting once and now can't face them.

The wait times to get hold of someone on customer service is horrendous. (Vodafone & Spark both generally), I've found contacting them through Social Media (Facebook or Twitter), email or online service (Both on Website/Contact Us) gets a quicker first up response, and they can actually fix most things, or log it as a job with the higher level straight away. 

PS. Gutted about your unstable internet, but on that is there a recurring time/event that it drops at, or is it just random dropping?

People who put the minimal amount of effort at work, fudge up, generally add nothing to the company and get promoted.

No I'd just been shot in the back of the head in DayZ whilst drinking from a water pump. The guy that did it was probably in a meeting too. Cowardly f*cker.

I do hate meeting whingers though and those passive aggressive folk who won't tell people to stick to a time frame, but will moan about them after the meeting.

There is a truckload of stuff on the net about chairing meetings. It's easy once you've done it a few times. You set an agenda and how much time you have for each item. You ask people to move on or stop talking if they go over time or drift off topic. 

Once people accept you as the chair and meetings get more productive, they'll run themselves with very little input from the chair.

The same goes for "have you got five minutes?" I don't mind people running over time with me, that's cool but if you aren't cool with it then tell them they've gone over time - it's that simple.

I'm pleased that Ajc28 wants to do some work, hell there's a lot of people who praise the lord they get paid to sit around doing very little in meetings all day. 

If you get p*ssed off with the way things are at your job and you don't feel up to challenging the way things are move on. 

And yes I think we are a poorer society where people have stopped doing and making things but just sit around all day talking crap as that's what are a lot of meetings involve.

 When I watch Eggheads and someone says "I'm a blah, logistics, blah human resources, blah, blah, de blah manager, blah leader". I wonder what value their job provides for anyone and if their job disappeared tomorrow would anyone notice?

I don't think people are worthless but I think a lots of the jobs they do are but I don't think people should define themselves by their work.

I've heard lots of people over the years talk gleefully that they didn't do any work and just pratted around or in this day an age pratted about on the net.  Either that or just go on about the pointless meetings they attend yet never do anything to challenge it but moan about it all the same.

I'm honest about it. I'm just saying what millions of people think around the world, every day they go to work.

I see those cnuts at the petrol companies have stuck petrol up a further 3 cents a litre today. Ironically the oil price per barrel has changed sweet FA over the last month and the $$$ has remained stable. Greedy friggen bastards. (Include the Govt in that after all, they grab 65% of the per litre price).
