#139952 - Give them what they need...
Responding to: ???'s previous message

Ive just had a text message from my boss asking why I cannot go to his stupid project meeting tomorrow.

Believe me, insisting on your point-of-view (even if this is the best one can imagine) and not going to this stupid meeting will not solve the problem, but even increase your trouble. In the eyes of your boss and other involved persons you will become the enfant terrible, the unflexible, yes the unacceptable guy, finally being responsible for any failing.

My suggestion: Give them what they want. Contribute to this stupid meeting and turn it into their worst nightmare, by discussing all the annoying details they do not have any clue of. Insist in discussing these details. Call earlier management decisions in question. Bring new cognitions up for discussion. Offer new alternatives, and, and, and. Or by one word, turn the meeting into entire chaos. Be brilliant! Be the pain in their arses! And...

Have Fun!
