Why meetings are bad for you

Filed under: General — Jeff @ 11:39 am

Great thread on Slashdot today on why meetings are bad for you.

Though this is obvious to most of us, your PHB’s might benefit from knowing that meetings are bad for you. Two psychologists have found evidence that the number of and the time spent in meetings has a detrimental effect on mood. “…a general relationship between meeting load and the employee’s level of fatigue and subjective workload was found”, write the authors after conducting a diary study. Perhaps we should be more understanding with our moody bosses?

It’s a good thing there isn’t any latent hostility brewing in the tech workforce out there.
