i don't know, some days.

I mean, I do know. But, just.

Look: we just got a broadcast e-mail notification:

There will be a manditory meeting at 4:00 in [location].

[SIC], I assure you, and while this would make me unhappy under normal circumstances, what's really got me despairing is that this e-mail came from our communications manager.

What I find amusing is that your hackles are up about spellcheckfail (right?), while I'm cringing at the corporate tomfoolery. Either way, be glad you don't work at one of my previous companies. Eek.

Oh, the fact that there have been two surprise all-staff meetings in as many weeks is nonsense, you're absolutely right. Especially if, like me, you have to really concentrate hard to think of meetings as anything other than a complete waste of time. (It's post-not-quite-traumatic stress, is what that is. I had a manager once who, I swear to god, held a 45-minute meeting about how productivity was down. The boggling got progressively bogglier until I, as the shortest-term contract temp in the room and thus the one with the least to lose if I pissed him off, raised my hand and said "Then, um, wouldn't it be better if we got back to work?" I know there is such a thing as a good and productive meeting, but like I said, I really have to focus, because my gut feeling is that going to a meeting is the opposite of working.)

So was today's an update on the last mandatory emergency meeting? What's the skinny?
