Top 5 Worst Things To Say In A Meeting

Ever been to a meeting and someone just says something ridiculous. That makes you cringe.

Here’s my list of Top 5 worst things to say at a meeting

  1. Anybody got any chew? I’d love to take a dip right now…Smokeless tobacco at a meeting…not cool
  2. Just one more thing – You know when the meeting is already over. You’ve run out of town. And that one person says “just one more thing” and talks for another hour….That’s annoying
  3. Let’s table that for the next meeting – You know when you are getting close to actually making a decision. And then someone says – let’s table that for the next meeting. I hate that – we need another meeting? Let’s waste more time
  4. Susie – are you taking notes? I’ve seen this before where a senior male assumes the woman in the room is a secretary or note taker. And they aren’t – so when asked, it gets really awkward.

So what’s the worst thing you’ve heard someone say in a meeting?
