@carolinewarnes.sydney: Nothing says workplace efficiency like eight senior managers aligning on the work without involving the employee who actually has to do it. Corporate meetings: where decisions are made and context goes to die. Follow for daily workplace humour and painfully familiar observations from the office. #creatorsearchinsights #funnyworktrends

And then not even telling the worker anything they discussed

And then you get the “ I know it’s a lot of work, but let me know how I can support you.” knowing damn well they can’t support you because they know nothing about what they are asking you to do.

And constantly messaging you while they are in the meeting for information they can speak to like they did the work.

And then you get copied into an email trail that’s been going on for weeks and told to ‘take it from here’…

all while being paid $200k+ and taking the rest of the week off while the $65k salary employee who is going to do the work was just denied time off for a family situation.

Don't forget that most of those senior managers have either never done that work or haven't done it in so long, the work is completely different from when they did it.

Then sit in team meetings to relay the message with 10% of the actual information only to throw you under the bus when their ass is in the hot seat

That is the big corporate issue. The leaders see themselves as authorities but don’t get the real info from the workers. Creates headaches

And the uninvited worker isn’t aware they’ve been volunteered for said project.

and after their 15 meetings and 20 hours of discussion they finally share "the update" and your like - ok, but yeah this won't work... And you explain why it won't work and they didn't think of this, because they DON'T DO THIS JOB and have no idea about the limitations, so they start a new meeting to circle back to the beginning, obviously excluding you, to repeat the same mistake 😂

I left a job because of this! Being responsible for outcomes and not being told important information . Because my boss couldn’t understand how to relay the information. She didn’t understand the work.

It never ceases to amaze me how much wasted time, money, energy, and resources are put towards these types of meetings.

😂💀 we'd point out flaws which is why we arent invited. 😂 sometimes the decisions are to be followed, not questioned.

happens everyday, and then they complain when the work is done wrong.

Then after the one person does all the work, at the launch of the project, those eight senior managers all get up and pat themselves on the back while the one actual worker has to stand in the back of the room...

The worst part is they were in the same position you were at one point, they made the same comments about bad decisions being made by leadership and they turn around and do the same thing now that they are in leadership

You are too busy doing the work to have time for the meeting anyway.
