So true. Earlier in meetings we can go about silently browsing or replying to emails. But now the keyboard is so loud that we have to apologize to the speaker!

- pc86 8y agoOr the alternative, paying attention.
- TomVDB 8y agoYou’re making the bold assumption that there is anything being said that is worth paying attention to.
- pc86 8y agoThen decline the meeting. Unless you're a very junior developer or a brand new employee (and probably don't have the necessary experience or context, respectively, to determine whether or not you need to pay attention) you probably have the right to decline meeting invites.
- fragmede 8y agoIt's not like anyone might want to take notes or something.
- pc86 8y ago> Earlier in meetings we can go about silently browsing or replying to emails. The complaint was not about taking notes, it was about being unable to ignore the speaker and reply to emails during a meeting.
- yellowapple 8y agoIf the meeting was worthwhile, we wouldn't feel the need to check emails during said meeting ;)
- pc86 8y agoMy point stands, just decline the meeting.
- yellowapple 8y ago"just decline the meeting" Not always possible for... political reasons.
