Meetings
Every morning at 11:00 am. there is a heads of department meeting. Usually, the meetings are held in the manager’s office, but if something particularly important is to be discussed, or when someone from head office is present, they are held in the conference room next door. Both rooms have large windows on the walls facing the general office, so those not important enough to be in the meeting can witness it and be reminded of their lesser status. Nothing can be heard from outside, of course, so when trivial things are being talked about, no one knows.The managers occasionally go on courses. When they return from their courses they usually want something to be done differently from the way it is presently being done. Their enthusiasm for the new way of doing things is meant to be contagious, but the staff seem to have immunity. Head office might consider sending the rest of the workforce on courses designed to lower their resistance to change.
Discussing very important things.

Me i'd rather be working than listening to all egos clashing
There are useless courses but I was talking about courses where I can learn something. If something interests me or I think it is useful, I will do a course outside of work. Life was too busy last year, but I will look into an online course over the winter. I did sat in useless courses and for me personally a long-term course which requires me to complete a project would interest me.
I like my job and it doesn't involve long meetings or travelling very often.
That means I both get to do courses I am interested in, and also bypass any senior managerial need, or quota, to send me on a course I have no interest in.
Be a step ahead of them and volunteer to do some interesting ones
The trick is to be more efficient without them knowing you are being more efficient
And I have years of experience waiting on tables. Where do I apply?
