Lunchtime meetings, twinned with Gomorrah

There should be one rule - one one rule only - for the kind of unspeakable cur who schedules workplace meetings between the hours of 12.00 and 2.00pm.

* The organiser of said meeting (henceforth known as 'the unspeakable cur') should pay for lunch for each and every attendee. Plus drinks, sent over from the social club as necessary.
Failure to comply with this single, simple rule should be punished by The Death of a Thousand Rabid Baboons.

Or, by sitting quietly and grudgingly at the back and not asking any questions when they ask "Any questions?" even if you've thought of a question.

That is all.

was the question - "why couldn't we do the meeting after lunch?"

or - "where are the bacons rolls?"

Steal his wallet, and buy yourself a bagel once the meeting is over.

Long time listener, first time caller !

I find that the weaker the management, the more frequent the meetings.

I was once told by The Manager that even though there were no issues that needed addressing, no problems that needed discussing, we still had to have a breakfast meeting, because they are good ways of sorting out all the issues over breakfast in a social setting. Not so social for those who had been on duty all night and wanted to go home. But impotent, nonetheless.
