This is one reason I'm happy to be working a very basic job 😂. No boring Zoom meetings for me. My biggest time waster is waiting on my manager to tell us what we need to do. Which ironically could probably be solved by a boring Zoom meeting 🙃

Haha right? The irony of avoiding meetings just to end up waiting around anyway 😅
I have one particularly colleague who always wants to have a fast meeting about something and it always turns into a major waste of time. He usually has some idea that only makes sense to him, and he tries to get me to get onboard with it. And as I keep pointing out the reasons why it won't work, he's just relentless. We finally end the meeting, having accomplished nothing, and in a few weeks we do essentially the same thing again. Never fails.

Ugh, I know exactly the kind of coworker you mean. Those “quick chats” that somehow turn into full-on debates with zero progress are the worst.
I prefer to always do that, but most of the time I start in the morning now and a lot of the time, the leader who's opening with me will sit in their car until the exact time we're supposed to clock in so I have to put my stuff away after I clock in. Cuz I can't go in by myself for multiple reasons. 😓

Yeah, I totally get that. It’s frustrating when you’re ready to start but can’t even go in yet because they’re just waiting in their car.
