Oh, man…that “will your meeting be productive?” box is out of flow, and REALLY bothering me.

Seriously–this sign needs another sign that says, “Do you know how to make a flowchart correctly?” “yes” -> “Please Proceed (but apply knowledge wisely)” “No”->”GO AWAY”

Other than the box-out-of-flow, the bad grammar in the top of the flowchart is bugging me. “Intend Using”? Argh. Especially since the correct “intend to” is used in the flowchart itself.
Par for the course for passive-agressive notes, though.

They misappropriate nouns, and we fall back. They assimilate countless thinking minds, and we fall back. And now they describe part of a cubicle farm as a “room”.
Not again. Not this time. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further!

Also, why does it go “have you successfully booked this room” – no- “have you currently made a booking” ??

After years of going to meetings I think “productive meeting” is an oxymoron. It’s always the same damn crap rehashed for the millionth time and it does no good.

Signage like this makes me glad I don’t have to work in an office anymore. We have a toolbox meeting every morning, where we do the Safety Dance(because we want to) and outline the work for the day. Then we go to work. For the whole day, interrupted only at lunchtime.

The problem is real! I recently booked a room incorrectly and was told I would need to move my meeting by someone who took the spot.
When I looked for an alternate location, I saw that the second meeting was not booked correctly either.
So, after determining the problem – I booked a meeting that said ‘IGNORE ME’ and used it to illustrate what would happen if was done correctly.
There was a great loss of productive time due to this error. Learn to do it right and then spread the word so you don’t lose time like I did.

Horrific flowchart notwithstanding, I liked the subtle joke on the other sign, using a pair of redundant words to describe a pair of useless and redundant signs. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

See, this is one of the problems with buying an office poster/large-format printer. People start to feel like, since they’ve got it, they have to find reasons to use it.
…Sorry, that should be “reasons”, not reasons.
