I have to admit that, as I get older, I put up with this kind of shit a lot less...damn
We have entered the last quarter of the year and that is noticeable...
I don't know about you but, where I work, towards the end of the year a lot of events and organizational trainings usually accumulate.
You know, Improvement Workshops, Team Building exercises, Brainstormings of any kind... etc, all this king os stuff comes during these months...
Everything aiming to enhance, improve, motivate etc, all these kinds of sound words that you can imagine, in theory, can improve the performance of an organization…In practice, and according to my experience, all these things are of very little use but some can justify having to spend the committed budget before the end of the year.
Yes, it's sad but true...
The fact is that here we are, the 14 project managers from my organizational headquarters traveling to meet with other Project managers from the French headquarters at some intermediate point between the two.
The trip, lasting about 4 hours, was done on a 50-seater bus rented exclusively for us, with Wi-Fi, a toilet and even a nice little bottle of water included so that nothing would stop us from working while we enjoyed the trip…
Upon arriving at the hotel at our destination, a “brotherhood” dinner awaits us, and tomorrow the whole fucking day of confinement in an improvement workshop plus a 4-hour bus ride back home…
All in all, almost two days lost with minimal productivity to meet with those of us who meet every day in the office or by videoconference...
We will see what type of activity they prepare for us for tomorrow.
Well, I'm hoping we can go out for a beer, at least tonight (LoL).
🎯 Fully understand you, Eddie. These redundant meetings with lots of talking and stuff are mostly ineffective and just a waste of time. Actionism is not equal to productivity. Most things could be sent in an email or a short video if someone wants to bring things across. The really important topics are mainly discussed during breaks or in small groups anyways. No?
It’s a big topic this whole thing you brought up but I don’t want to go too much into it. You cannot change thos things anyways. Mostly at least. So why beeing too frustrated about it. I more and more tend to take it with humor. 🤷🏼♂️😜
Well, workshops and seminars are good if their goal is to get staff trained and retrained. In my place of work, we go for such as well. If you won't have to paid go there it's fine. All the seminars I have been to here ever since I got employed usually come with stipends at the end of the program. I don't know if such is applicable to yours.
The problem is that while doing workshops I have the same amount of work to do
Hahaha, it breaks a bit the routine you could think... !LOL

Of course, when a person goes on such trips, the mind of a person works much better, seeing beautiful sights, meeting new people, and having new experiences. If so, it should go to the trips in the same way.
