Haha, great find! I agree, that is a bit of a ridiculous study. If someone takes a survey of a company and finds their employee's like meetings, that company ought to work on their employee engagement.

I would also venture to say that any worthwhile /company/ hates meetings and tries to have them as infrequently as possible. Reason being most companies don't do meetings right, so they take away from people doing actual work (or building relationships with co-workers).

Again, good, humorous find!

The other thing is that employees might be "listened to" only if they call a meeting, or attend a meeting that the manager called. But that is just another sign of corporate disfunction--only listening in traditional ways.

I'm glad that you all agree with me on this one. I wasn't sure what the response would be.

Traditional meetings are completely out-dated. There are companies out there that will STILL spending thousands of dollars to fly in co-workers from other branches to have a two hour meeting.

Hello, have you ever heard of a teleconference? Again, most meetings are still held in stuffy, dark conference rooms. Big business needs to wake up and inject something fresh into meetings if they truly want people to enjoy them and get something out of them.
