I know this is not layoffs related, but it's been bugging more and more since it's slowing me down and it might affect my future here. We send out docs ahead of time for every single meeting, but it’s obvious no one reads them. Then the meeting turns into reading the doc out loud and re-explaining everything. I don’t understand why we even bother sending materials in advance at this point. It's slowing down the meeting, everything takes longer, and I have less time to do my actual job. How hard is it to get to a meeting prepared??

If you want me to read documents, don’t send a meeting invite unless it is an optional AMA. If you send me a meeting invite and docs, better be prepared in the meeting to tell me why I should read them.
I don’t owe you my time when I have my own tasks to complete.
@b1 your last sentence almost made my drink come outta my nose hahaha
no one reads the docs!!! that's what the meeting is for.
Oh, you must have forgotten to attach your TPS Cover Sheet, Peter, mmmmmk????
D-mbest post I have ever seen on this site. You're being ignored because you are going to be laid off. and everybody hates your docs.
Imagine life being so mundane that your complaint is about reading documents (on a layoff site). Su-ks to be you.
Docs are trash and never reflect what's needed.
Probably means you/your docs are not worthy of their time.
Lol. Who has time? If i had time to pre-read the powerpoint, i wouldnt need the meeting.
Reading the documents ahead of time, on our own, does nothing to foster the ideals of cross-functional communication and collaboration. Try to focus more thoroughly on an enterprise-level perspective.
