It’s official: I’ve now been to more meetings in the past three weeks than during my entire previous tenure of three and a half years here.

I was not hired to go to meetings all day; I was hired to work. WORK, I say, WORK. I am a low level bureaucrat. This means that I do meaningless, repetitive tasks for a living. My function is to act as a cog in the wheel. Management are the ones who have the task of attending meetings. I am not management. Why I need to attend meetings is beyond me. If you're short another warm body at the conference table, then hire another manager and let me get the WORK done.
