I love how loads of people in this thread, knowing nothing of others' work situations or the utility of the meetings they attend, feel justified in telling them how to behave there.

sometimes people invite you to a meeting so they have proof you were in the room 12 weeks later when they need someone to blame for the catastrophe they saw coming

Our yearly allhands meeting is today. These ones are the worst. Ive been at this company 10 years now, so the repetition of them (they go over similar ground ever year) is mind numbing after the first one or 2. Thankfully they dont go on forever but even an hour or 2 is too much. Basically we all have to sit in hard chairs and stare at the CEO blabbering on a videoconf screen from the head office, as does everyone in all our satellite offices.

huh, I just realised that "standing meeting" has two distinct meanings and I had only been considering one of them
