Why do people insist on talking for 20 minutes before saying "I don't know if that answered your question or not..." ????
Maybe it’s perceived to be somewhat less rude than interrupting 6 minutes in, and saying, “Sorry, I don’t think this is answering my question”, and suggest the subject turn. I know a SVP who doesn’t mind making such observations. (Then again, he’s a SVP...)
 
I've heard of Keto, but I have no idea what it's about. I tend to think it's kind of like the one where you're only supposed to eat food that existed a long time ago, or something, but that may be because I seemed to start hearing about them at the same time. It involves pills?

I remember at one point that Florida woman was going on about some diet she'd been on, and I want to say it was Keto, but :noidea:

I have no clue what you're talking about with the shark tank thing. Sorry.
Keto is 2020 Atkins. Paleo is the "caveman" nonsense.

Yeah, it's a lot easier to interrupt people when you make more money than they do.

I'm on a zoom with over 100 other people, and one of the "experts" was asked a direct question that I thought was pretty straightforward, and she rambled for at least 3-5 minutes before delivering her "I don't know if that answered it" statement. This lead to several other people talking for another 5 minutes each in order to try and clarify.

Painful, but they are paying you.

If the call has that many people, it’s already probably a waste of time. My boss refuses to be in any meeting where less than half the attendees don’t present or ask questions. His reasoning is that those who aren’t necessary rarely add anything to discussion, and that “informational” presence can better be gained through distribution of summary / meeting minutes. Meanwhile, of course, he has me accompany him to board meetings “just in case” he gets asked a difficult question he can’t answer quickly.

Who is moderating your meeting?

Because you gotta know your audience. Sometimes you're dealing with retards and they don't even know why they are asking a question, other than to be heard. Sometimes i'm in those huge meetings and some dipshit is like, "durrr... so how do you send an email? Is it just the one button or is there a shortcut?" And I'm like, "Bitch. We know you're on the call. Everyone can see you. Shut up and let us leave early!" Just like one of those kids in school that reminds the teacher that they didn't give us weekend homework.

My old boss was the same... Unless you made it, work on it or own it, you don't need to be in the meeting. The problem we have is that everyone wants face time with the big boss. They want to be like, "Oh, yeah- I was in a meeting with Exec VP and he told me..." Lyin' bech. He told the room to take a break. Now GTFO. I had one group tell me they needed 7 people invited to this meeting with the CFO.

They had a 20 minute presentation slot! :gaah:
