Although far more frequently they will talk abstractly enough that they are not really saying anything, and they just keep going. When the point could in this case would have been possible to make with 2 short detailed sentences. I am afraid to ask any questions, because I think they will not understand the question anyway, and it will just be another reason to keep saying whatever they want to say with no meaning at all.
I think in work settings, many extraverted managers are like that. Just so much time in meetings spent on this yapping.
Ultimately I think they just do it because it gives them feeling of control, authority and visibility. Because people will see someone with a lot to say as higher status.
- lolinder 2y agoMore likely they do it because the social interaction is an end in itself for them, so dragging it out doesn't feel like a waste of time.
- mewpmewp2 2y agoThere's a productive reason to do it for themselves, because it indicates higher status, and that is good for their career. It's probably subconscious and naturally rewarding for a lot of them for sure. But overall for team productivity, it hurts since more time in meetings, more energy and time wasted, less time spent on development. As an introvert I would find those meetings very draining, but coding is stimulating and energizing.
