Ugh, I'm going to rant for a second, we have meetings at 8:00 a.m. every day, which is bad enough, but 9 out of 10 times, we are about to wrap up these useless meetings this one girl has to open her mouth and ask a question or make a comment that adds at least 10 to 20 minutes to these meetings. I'm assuming slapping her the moment she opens her mouth during these meetings wouldn't be a professional solution

Calling a working-age woman a girl and joking about slapping her for speaking in a meeting is not okay. Other commenters gave good advice to troubleshoot the situation but I'd also recommend you look inward and ask yourself why you're so angry with your colleague who's done nothing malicious.

An 8 am meeting is too early to begin with. But whoever is running the meeting should just know by now to shut her down, politely or otherwise. Every group always has someone in it who has to ask ponderous and pointless questions. It never fails.

Fix the grammar first tho

If something is outside my working hours, I just reject it with exactly this comment. If someone extends the call beyond what call is scheduled I simply say that I need to jump off and I leave. I think you can also give the feedback to the coworker about adjusting the meeting time.

Yeah I'm not showing up to an 8am meeting everyday ever. Work is 9-5, everyone knows that. I think that obviously there are respectful ways to end this kind of behavior. The manager just needs to say something to this employee, or say something to the whole team about how the meeting will be cut off exactly at a certain time.

Your coworker sounds absolutely tedious. I don’t know how you put up with it. I mean, I have a coworker who will often ask useless questions, but it’s not every meeting and it’s not too bad. It was only like a minute or two cause the manager doesn’t care for her. But yeah, I would think everyone in your office. Hates your coworker, but you know Always have to have a weird kiss up in every group.

Name the most ridiculous micro-managing by partners that you experience.

I’ll go first: MP told me that on initial emails, I am always to start with “Hello [name],” but after the initial email, I am not to address her by name again in the same thread. Initial greeting can only be “Hello [name] ” because just first name is too brisk and a “Hi [name]” is too informal. Had a 5 minute, in depth conversation as to why she prefers it this way…

My boss (atty) is so disorganized! I’ve been with him 6 months and he’s having a hard time delegating, sharing info and managing deadlines. I’ve organized the caseload to manage the deadlines. He says he wants me to help with discovery but when I offer to start on one, he says he needs to do it. (Since he might have to present as evidence) When I give him deadlines and ask for the docs he says he’ll get to it. It’s a small 1 man firm, and I’m the first assistant besides his wife. Any advice?
