One of the shocks about entering the world of work was how little I often got done in any given day because I was in a meeting or had to deal with some form or was waiting on permission or many other things.
I have had whole days disappear with nothing much to show for them at the end. I am sure I am not the only one. And even though it is almost assuredly known that this happens, nobody seems to care.
When I tell people this they are usually envious but I always say 'be careful what you wish for'. For me it was the most miserable period of my life.
I've had depression and been homeless - that job was worse.
Could you explain this a bit? Why weren't the interested parties talking to each other in smaller groups? Wasn't there a shared base vision? What caused the blocks? What caused the decoherence of alignments? Also, how many meetings? How many people? Thanks!
