A Meeting in the Conference Room

The biggest time waster in the business place.

A Meeting in the Conference Room

 

By Elton Camp

 

The supervisor seems to know just one main way

That he can justify his position and outrageous pay

 

That is by a required meeting where he’ll preside

Employees moaning and groaning is hard to hide

 

Nobody wants to hear from the self-important jerk

As he attempts to tell them how to do their work

 

He thinks that he knows what is the very best way

And the ones who do the tasks have nothing to say

 

It is a voice of authority that he will try to assume

Just as soon as he strides into the meeting room

 

With the sound of his own voice he seems fascinated

While his foolish instructions are repeatedly related

 

What he will say could be done in five minutes or less

But the meeting will last at least an hour, nevertheless

 

Then he complains when office work gets behind

That he wasted so much time none should remind

 

The office would be better off if he would disappear

But that he will soon demand an assistant, never fear
