It would be really awesome if somebody on UCL's call was also reading Gyero.

I think my post covers every conference call in history.
Directions:
- Press mute button,
- Buy table football set for $5.*
- Profit.
*Presumes you have a colleague
he says as he posts in GYERO...
^ False...there's significant added value in the following sequence:
#LearnBusiness
- Pre-telephone conference call to discuss the agenda for the upcoming telephone conference call;
- Distribution of agenda <2min prior to telephone conference call for all attendees;
- Dial-in to telephone conference call to be greeted by ****** loop elevator music;
- Host of conference call dials-in about 3-5min late, makes joke about making a run to get coffee because it's been a "long day" (nobody is impressed);
- Extend an already too-long telephone conference call by 15-30min to discuss "action items;"
- Arrange a post telephone conference to debrief the telephone conference;
- Distribute notes from telephone conference for review;
- Arrange another post telephone conference call to discuss briefing to senior management; and
- Schedule telephone conference with senior management;
- Repeat steps 1-9 again.

The best part of a conference call is the amount of emails and little things I get done while on it. The worst part is the ******* that brings something very specific to them like a situation with a customer that applies to no one else and wastes 20 mins before the other person suggests they should handle it afterwards.
At least with GYERO posts, I feel like I'm sharpening my writing skills. All this crap does is make me want to commit career suicide.
Have you tried interjecting some hot takes into your call? Sort of a GYEROIRL?
During one of them, I let out a VERY audible sigh when a certain someone started talking. He/she didn't care for that!
Just got my call screened by a big time GYERO lawyer. He's on another call may I take a message? 
Can someone email me when Max/UCL are done with their occasional GYERO-killing routine?
I personally enjoy the meetings in which the discussion is centered around scheduling other meetings.
I was on jury duty with a meteorologist, she said if she was right 40% of the time she was doing a good job. That kind of blew my mind.
Would you agree with those stats?
UCL, you are making me really dread the upcoming sales meeting tomorrow morning. The agenda came out today and has 9 things on it, ending with open discussion. I want to suggest to management to take "open discussion" off the weekly agenda because you can only imagine what happens when 10 hens are given the floor to complain at will.
At least yours is a conference call and not in person.

What kind of self important, uptight, pretentious ******* gets his 'wich toasted at Subway??
For crying out loud, the line is barely moving as is. Just load up the toppings, put your head down and move along.

My life is conference calls. In addition to all the stuff listed above, my other complaints/annoyances:
*Ice breakers
*When the organizer spends 5 to 10 minutes telling us it will be a short meeting, and will try to get us off the call early
*Inside jokes between two or three people on a call with 10 or more people
*The term "call outs". When someone makes a comment or suggestion, someone in management always compliments them on the great "call out"
*The term "takeaways". Which for those of you not in conference call hell, are follow-up questions to resolve after the call
*The person in Central Time that will schedule a call for 10:30 to 12:00 Central Time. Touch you, effer

I am in a medical sales field and we will have a district every 2 month sales meeting tomorrow that will last some 3.5 hours. 60-90 minutes of this meeting will be devoted to role-playing some different sales scenarios. So I've got that to look forward to. The best was the kick-off meeting for this year when our regional president announced "You're fired" to everyone in the room and followed up with "Now you're going to be given a second chance, tell me why I shouldn't fire you and think about what behavior and/or issue you have that you need to stop or change so you don't get fired in the future". Very inspirational stuff. Made me very excited to start 2016.
I would have resumes out within 45 minutes of the conclusion of that meeting.
At. Best.
<---- Once rubbed one out during a conference call. Was working from home that day and one of the vendor's sales reps is a dime, with the phone sex voice to match.
Okay, we're going to start today's meeting with a little icebreaker game called...
TWO TRUTHS AND A LIE.
Here's how it works:

Pretty vital to our business. MCF knows way more, obviously. I just religiously monitor 5-6 websites and have done that for 10-12 years.
Great. While the rest of the Schems are out there busting their asses getting work done, Little A is holed up in his cubicle stroking his pud to the Weather Channel.
Jeez, man. Act least *act* like you care about the family business.
Black Sheep, bro. Been saying this for years.
