Good point, but actually, to you, your time is more important than everyone else's. You need to put yourself first.
When the oxygen mask falls from the ceiling of the airplane you're instructed to put yours on before helping others. You're not going to be helping anyone if you pass out.
And by the way, both you and Arnold Schwarzenegger are human beings and able to have some of the same experiences. Putting yourself down is not helpful.
- SketchySeaBeast 8y agoArnold Schwarzenegger can afford to lose a job, and his personal productivity can't make or break his ability to pay this month's mortgage. You have to be willing to work with people, and you have to work with more powerful people on their terms.
- glitchc 8y agoHmmm.. Are you secretly hoping that these powerful people will raise you to their level someday? Give you a just reward for your serfdom?
- lazyasciiart 8y agoWhere did that come from?
- SketchySeaBeast 8y agoNo, I'm saying if my boss tells me to be at a meeting everyday at 10 and I'm not there for 2 weeks I'm probably going to get fired.
- glitchc 8y agoPunctuality is overrated in general, and especially in software. Most meetings are a waste of time because no decision is made in them.
- dragonwriter 8y ago> Most meetings are a waste of time because no decision is made in them. Most meetings are a waste of time, true. No decisions are made in most meetings, also true. But the former is not caused by the latter; making decisions isn't the only productive reason to have a meeting.
- SketchySeaBeast 8y agoWearing pants are overrated in general and a waste of time as well, but I'd be in trouble for forgetting them when going into the office as well. One day we may need to call a meeting that no one thinks is worth their attention. There's plenty of hoops that one must work through in one's day to day that we just have to put up if we want to keep the business moving.
