Mini Rant: Meeting Request! (Part II)
Incompetent meeting requesters. There are certain repeat offenders in this category; people who either don’t know how to create a meeting request, or are so unbelievably dim that they simply can’t ever do it right the first time.
I’m talking about the idiots that clog up my work inbox by sending a meeting request, followed immediately by two, three, sometimes four updates changing time, date, location, participants, the lot!
Is it not common courtesy to make sure that you don’t spam people like this? Am I, ONCE AGAIN, the only person on the fucking planet that takes even a SECOND to think about other people, and how to minimize how much I might annoy them with my actions on a daily basis?
If you’re so completely incompetent that you can’t create a meeting request correctly the first time, do us all a favour and draft it first, then double check it before you send it. All of us already have to put up with far too much shit in our email. Can you PLEASE just make a TINY effort to stop contributing to this inane bullshit through which we are all forced to sift every fucking day?
… and while I’m on the subject, don’t come to me with a face on, asking snarkily “are you going to join this meeting or what?” when you haven’t even fucking bothered to invite me … or indeed bothered to check that I’ve been invited before your little tirade takes place? I take GREAT pleasure in allowing you to have your little shout, then responding with “What meeting?”
Yeah, funnily enough, your boring, shitty fucking meeting on a subject in which I have absolutely no interest, is NOT the top of my list of priorities. Dial your ego down a notch, and take some of that bass out of your voice before you come storming up to my desk in the future, you self important prick, or by the time you walk away, you just might find yourself nursing a mouthful of broken teeth.
