the meeting
as always, B talked the loudest and very opinionated to every single suggestion that are not his. C couldn't take it anymore and took it personally. then the war begun. A tried to assess the situation the best he knew how and tried to be a mediator. D remained partial and kept quite. it had always been this way. every single year when we got together and put our heads together for something. each behaved and acted the same way. this time, the fire burned more rapidly. the bickering went more intense. D decided to step out from the room. i too decided to do the same. we didn't want to witness both B and C went at it like they always do. god knows A has dealt with this for years now. after sometime, both D and i decided to go back and the meeting was resumed. it ended soon after, though. sigh... such drama in a corporate world.

B needs to get laid. C needs a holiday. That's my random suggestion
I am not in the corporate world anymore (never really stayed that long) but it sounds stressful with these characters around.
Sometimes that idea about two heads being better than one, don't seem to apply.
I will have the "pleasure" of witnessing something similar tomorrow during out team meeting.
@stepaside_loser - LOL Very funny!
That's something to add to the mundane work days! LOL
I hated corporate meetings. I loved the old saying that a committee of three functioned best when one was ill and could not make it and one forgot the meeting
.
I think someone from mgm't needs to lay down the law. I hate dysfunctional employees and I see a lot of this at work.
And the whole time I was thinking it was a family fued! Good luck with the work. Who wants enemies when you have team mates like these guys, hunh?
@stepaside_loser - ha ha ha. That is a great solution.
@stepaside_loser - u have no idea!
@The_Eyes_Of_A_Painter - yeah, which to suggest that i should be the boss, right?
@beowulf222 - hope it didn't go as crazy as mine did.
@CurryPuffy - you know what, it was kinda refreshing. though kinda predictable at the same time.
@Fatcat723 - meetings are ALWAYS NOT the best part of going to work.
@ElusiveWords - i hate to say it, but... they ARE the management!
@ZSA_MD - actually, they ARE family. i'm involved in a family business.
@rudyhou - Oops! My bad, I hope I haven't offended you.
@stepaside_loser - offended me?? nope, NOT at all
@rudyhou - Oh, that's good! Just checking
)
@ZSA_MD - thank you for the recommendation.
Draaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaama bomb.
@secade - you got that right.
"Drama" is an understatement!
@christao408 - haha... i know, i know.
Ha, ha, you write fewer blogs than me. I should have given you the cheat'ng blogger award. Then again it looks like you are a good corporation man.
@PPhilip - well, i'm not much of a corporation guy for i can't stand office politics. and yeah, i don't write as much as i should. most of the time my mind just gets stuck when it comes to writing. many times i come here with the attention to share something but ended up cruising other's blogs.
I thought it was family argument, but now I realize that it is not.
Thank you for your comment on "Cup of Tea" post.
@angys_coco - u welcome
