Why not make a step further, and ask why do you even have 30 minutes meeting if it's not useful?

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 3 points 18 hours ago (6 children)

That's a more complicated problem.

Quarterly employee feedback says people feel in general that they don't understand what's going on in the company and what projects / deadlines are coming up and how it all relates to other departments. Everybody's pretty much in tune with what happens in their own department.

Project management spins up and creates confluence documents that contain all of this information. Analytics spins up weekly reports that go out to everyone.

Next quarterly, top issue is once again people don't understand what's going on at the company. We missed that, we didn't hear about that, we didn't understand those grass, we didn't know the chart was updated. Bottom line is nobody's reading the data there's departments are churning it out for nothing.

And that my friend is how you get a daily 30 minute all-hands sync and a weekly all hands company meeting.

Sounds like a skill issue. Someone can't write an update that isn't the longest paragraph of text scientifically created to be the most boring and incomprehensible sequence of words put together as a biological weapon.
And by someone I mean everyone in the corporate world.

My update isn't exciting but it is important. I need people to know this stuff or I'll be fielding questions on it for the next 6 months as everyone individually discovers the changes.

I'm not going to spend time rewriting my update to sound thrilling and engaging in order to attract the eyes of the lowest common denominators attention span.

So we have a meeting, everyone listens, and if they say afterwards that they weren't told or weren't paying attention, there's a recording of the zoom call so they can try again.

It's work, if it were fun and enjoyable 100% of the time we wouldn't be paid to be there.

No, you write you shit once so it's understandable, and if you can't you learn how to do it since it's your job. And then if someone has questions you refer them to your writing, and eventually they learn to read what you write, since it's their job.
Your email explaining you shit has the same power of zoom recording, more even, because it's concise.
It's work, you're paid to be there, no need to make it harder for everyone just because you can.

Noone listens to your ramblings either.
If noone reads the email and nothing bad is happening to them, then they are right to not read it. If it does, then it's their fault to not read the email. It doesn't matter if you waste 30 minutes of their life or 1 minute of their life, they will get or not get the info either way.
