What do you think about Vice President who forgets what’s discussed in the last meeting and have to start the business story from the scratch again? Attending a meeting unprepared every time. I don’t know where he uses his brain for. So uninspiring.

I would assume they have bigger/more important things on their plate..this is very common with higher ups

Don’t assume that. They should be prepared like everyone else. Maybe shoot out a quick sentence in the meeting invite to ‘set the stage’ and refer to it if they’re still not catching on. Too much time is wasted on covering other people’s delinquency

I would ask what you are doing to take the first 5 min to recap. Think of it like your watching a show and they recap the previous episode. I work on multiple work streams so I need my team to remind me what we are talking about and give my brain a moment to switch gears.

They don’t read email, nor any attachment. It’s becoming chronic specifically the executives are jumping a zoom room to another zoom without a minute break. I’m dealing multiple things too but I do a self reminder if I go to a meeting and at least why I’m in the meeting rather than waiting for a spoon feeding. Where is our superstar executive?

I’m new on the job search and still employed. I’m looking to grow further in the logistics industry. While I look for work, it’s a bit discouraging seeing how hundreds of people apply for positions I see on LinkedIn. I still apply because you never know and AI plays a huge effect in selections. Should I even bother applying when there are more than 100 applications?
