Lunch Time Meetings are BS

Or, a meeting at 0800 on a Friday?
fricking hacks.

I completely agree. Lunch is my time. I'm leaving an hour early if I have to work through lunch.

I would rather 5pm meeting

I need to eat or I am going to get low blood sugar mean

Never had a noon meeting where lunch was not served.

Really? That meeting will take up most of your morning and you can dick around the afternoon. Makes Fridays fly by!

My boss called a meeting for 3:00pm the day before Thanksgiving. He's a fricking a-hole.

I loved that thread.

I don't care when someone calls a meeting, but respect others time. If it's a one hour meeting don't expect people to hang around for 2-3 hours. Schedule more time than you need or reschedule a follow up meeting after the hour is up.

Also, don't waste 30 minutes checking every swinging dick in the rooms availability for another meeting. You should have access to their calendars or that can be handled on your own time.

We usually get some pretty good catering if we have a lunch meeting so I'm generally done with it.

ETA: the best meeting time is about 3PM because after everyone is like screw it let's go home after.

I used to jock at a country station that had "special" Saturday meetings for the sales staff.

I always like the 4pm meetings the day before a holiday.
