You know what super fucking annoying? Meeting at 9am. WTF?
People get stuck in traffic, or public transport failed, or little Johny forgot his school bag so the parent had to turn around when dropping them at school.
Number of times I’ve been in meeting at 9am that don’t end up happening is absurd. Plus the majority of attendees have most of the day clear in their schedule. So why book the meeting for 9 goddamn am in the morning?
10 is the best time for morning meetings, just like 2 in the afternoon. After you’ve had a chance to get going, before people are hungry. And 2pm is after the lunch snooze but early enough to fix stuff before close of business.
Putting meetings super early or late is an attempt to prevent interruption in workflow but meetings should be rare enough that it’s not an issue and it is the productive thing for that morning/afternoon.
Yep. The number of pointless meetings is far too many.
Some people like scheduling meetings just for the sake of a meeting, while others keep meetings booked only to say once the meeting starts they there is nothing to be discussed. Then cancel it before everyone wastes time attending! I’ve got 12 tasks to do that makes Hercules tasks look like kindergarten events, and pointless meetings really don’t help anyone.
Just common sense should be enough.
If your job doesn’t require you to be there on the dot, who care?
If you keep being late for meetings and you’re wasting your colleagues time, get your ass out of bed earlier.
It’s not hard. But it’s super annoying to be waiting for people who just don’t care to be on time.

So the rest of the day can be used for work. If you start at 930 everyone on time fucks off for half an hour
As if people don’t already fuck off for at least a half hour every day anyway
I would love. 9am meeting over a 7am meeting. JFC, let my cold personality a chance to thaw. IDC about time zones.
I think 10am is reasonable for first meetings.
I would also say no meetings to close to the end of lunch or ending at 5pm.
I agree with this part.

It’s also super annoying to be hounded about being on time when it makes no fucking difference.
