"Social networking sites" and blogs are a waste of time, not meetings which they cannot replace. Apart from that: do you want to work like a dog for every minute of the day? Some talk about which general way the work is going etc. is a good thing. No wonder many techies are underpaid. Having mental blinders on and only seeing one small part of the picture at a time is not what companies want. I think that the opinions here are incredibly one-sided, typical of tech people.

I know exactly how much those meetings are costing the company - and delaying my progress. In general, I find meetings a waste of time - either you are giving a directive, or asking for input. The problemn with the later is a lack of authority to immediately squash rambles and ideals that compromise the unversal application of the goal. I’m currently an in-house contractor.

This would be a great application for Chumby. On the flipside, with simple math you could figure out how much everyone at the meeting was getting paid. So much for privacy. http://www.opensocializr.com Great idea…but this really needs to be a standalone device that you can put at conference room table in order to be effective.

They're hired! When can they start? I pay more than that per hour for 1 lawyer in San Francisco. That PayScale must hire really cheap employees. Wow, that’s a good deal. $300 an hour for all them.
