We secretly love meetings (2010)
&gt; give them an outlet for sharing their personal feelings and opinions, not only on work issues but also on personal or political topics<p>Holy cow! Are people really sharing personal or political topics in work meetings?! I’ve worked with people for more than a decade whom I meet with nearly every day in stand ups and other meetings and I know nothing about their political, religious, personal beliefs and life. I would never share that kind of stuff in a business setting. It is completely inappropriate.<p>Separately, we have a company rule of no meeting Fridays. By far and away this is my favorite day of the week.
