14:00 - 16:00 to discuss a meeting 2 days later

So it does happen in the private sector too. That is such a relief!

Think that deserves it's own thread...

I worked at a bank that used to have meetings at 7:30, bastards. Another place used to have the daily scrum at 12:45 so we could all go to lunch together afterwards excpt for those poor bugger, like me, who also worked on other projects and so had to attend other meetings. This project as a bugger for meetings, looking in my diary for one day shows:

8:30 - 10:30 weekly team meeting
10:30 - 12:30 development meeting
12:45 -13:00 daily scrum
14:00 - 16:00 was 2 meetings in one, the first half was to discuss a meeting 2 days later, the second half was a status meeting
16:00 - 20:00 various teleconferences

Hopefully they only got to their desks at 10:39.... and will still sign the timesheet!
