Honestly, how many workers really want a meeting?

[–] radiohead37@lemmynsfw.com 55 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Managers do. Collecting status and showing who’s boss is their work.

Marketing types. “Designers” (I.e. people who drive product requirement.) People who just love to hear themselves talk. Also we have this one QA guy who can’t code for shit and always wants someone else to do his work for him. He wants to be on zoom calls 24/7. I’m surprised that guy can piss without someone showing him how to hold his dick on a zoom call.

You literally just suggested the creation of another vibe coder.

Depends on the meeting. I look forward to meetings where the process people will explain how stuff actually works so we know how to build the feature that will interface with their systems

I too heard about such meetings. I'm yet to participate in one though.

[–] undeffeined@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Thats a shame!

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Ok. That's totally true, I also really enjoy meetings where people show me what they do in depth so I can build automation around their actual processes, as well as find ways to improve those processes and save time and effort.

Sometimes you even get to show off the cool, useful shit you built for them!

When I worked in customer service in a callcenter we all tried to ask a bunch of questions to try to extend the meeting so we wouldn't have to go back on the phones. anything is better than being on the phones.

I worked in a call center for a month, failed miserably, and I completely understand what you're saying, 20 years later.
