I had to do this for a silly thing we do at our weekly staff meetings. The idea is to share knowledge we've picked up over time with our co-workers.

I'd spend more time figuring out ways to skip out of the meetings than I would learning anything or imparting knowledge. But I'm a different kind of rebel that way.

Believe me, if I could manufacture ways out of the meetings, I would. Even granting that 90% of all meetings are pointless wastes of time and the other 10% are only 20% as useful as management thinks they are, these weekly staff meetings are shining examples of what not to do. The last meeting? Thirty minutes on how to care for a newborn, and that was not the "knowledge sharing."
