person who makes borderline rude comments but you're not sure if maybe they just don't know how to be gentle with people and how maybe you should because nobody likes work so why make it less pleasant

guy who organized an hour long meeting, realized hes out of discussion points after 20 minutes, and keeps trying to stretch things out just to keep the meeting going.

rookie mistake, people love to get out of a meeting early

okay yeah i'm going to rephrase that a bit. as someone that has worked at a ton of companies i do find it lol when certain phrases/mannerisms become sticky for the whole organization. on the other hand, people that are otherwise not paying attention are probably attuned to those magic words and don't need something different
