Unavoidable Meeting 1: "The One That Ruined Our Lunch"
It's 3 PM on a sunny Friday, and you're sitting in the conference room with your team, sipping on your lukewarm coffee, waiting for the meeting to start. You've been looking forward to this break all day.
And then it happens. Your boss walks in, a man with a grin as wide as the Eiffel Tower, and says "Alright, let's get this meeting started!" with the enthusiasm of a used car salesman.
As you glance around the room, you see the rest of your team sharing your sentiment - "Why are we here? We've got better things to do."
And then he drops the bombshell: "We're going to discuss the new project, and I want you all to be on the same page." On the same page, indeed. More like on the same caffeine-fueled, slightly-irradiated page.
