Um, okay. 7 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,440 Speaker 1: So the company that I worked for basically runs off 8 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:32,000 Speaker 1: of Microsoft team meetings at this point, like everything, every dude, man, exactly. 9 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 1: I had no idea when we started this show. It 10 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,840 Speaker 1: was like a for a corporation. Corporation, man, I had 11 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: no idea how long people sit. I worked at a 12 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,240 Speaker 1: company once in my life before I did anything, before 13 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 1: I did this type of work. Yeah, and there was 14 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: too many meetings. Then people sit all day long, one 15 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 1: meeting to the next meeting. It's all meetings, all meetings 16 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: on zoom meets like teams or whatever. Nothing gets done 17 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: in those meetings either it's crazy an email, yeah, an 18 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: email or text. So you have a job like that, huh. 19 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,919 Speaker 1: And that's the thing. Eighty five percent of these meetings 20 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 1: is literally people just saying, Hi, how are you doing? 21 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 1: What are you up to today? They're useless meeting Yeah, really, 22 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 1: just one or two meetings a week that counts. Yes, 23 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,479 Speaker 1: they said they're telling jokes as well. They say, like, 24 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: don't want to be here. Yeah, funny people in the meeting. 25 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: The funny guy in the meeting is I. Oh, I 26 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: I hate that dude so much because it's like, you're 27 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: making this meeting go way longer. Should be any more questions? Yeah, 28 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: nobody's paying you, No go? Can I leave? Is that 29 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: a question? So? Anyway? Sorry about that. I think everybody's 30 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:47,199 Speaker 1: over meetings. And I found kind of like this little 31 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: loophole that I do. It's worked so far. Hopefully I 32 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: don't blow my cover. But what I'll do is I'll 33 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: create like a little dummy meeting and I make it private, 34 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: so people just see that I'm busy in a meeting, 35 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: but they can't join without a password or anything like that. Though, 36 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: unless it's important, I make a private meeting for myself 37 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: to just sit in all day. So what about your boss? 38 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 1: Can your boss not see your calendar? No? My boss. Look, 39 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 1: my boss barely participates in meetings himself because I think 40 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 1: he knows that these are pointless things, and he just 41 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 1: gets a wrap up meeting at the end of the week, 42 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: which I definitely participate in, but the daily ones that 43 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: are just like, Hi, how are you doing. I'm just 44 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: checking in to see how you are in the progress 45 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: on this, blah blah. No, I'm not doing that anymore. 46 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 1: That's funny. So you just make a dummy meeting things 47 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: so you can just sit there. Some people think you're 48 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 1: in a meeting, but you're not. That's a great idea. 49 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: I honestly haven't been in one of those stupid meetings 50 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 1: for like, I'm gonna say, three weeks. That is so good. 51 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: You must have been something important by now. I bet something. 52 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 1: If it's I feel like, if it's important enough, go 53 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: old school and I don't know, email me on the phone. Yeah, 54 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,239 Speaker 1: send a homing pigeon. You know, people talk about it. 55 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,519 Speaker 1: People always talk about how in prison inmates adjust and 56 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: find ways to get around the rules, like making things 57 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: out of toilet paper or making different kinds of food, 58 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 1: crushing up other food. And I think this just shows 59 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: you how the corporate world is in corporate America with 60 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,679 Speaker 1: meetings are like, it's the same thing. You're trying to 61 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: find a way just to survive and just to have 62 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: a little bit of comfort so you'll become a tech 63 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: expert and figure out how to fake zoom meetings so 64 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: you don't have to be in there. We figure out 65 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: the same way. It's just like a prison, Yeah it is. 66 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: You have to take computer classes just to stay to 67 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: stay ahead of the curve.
