And we often had staff meetings....with the announced agenda as "We haven't met in a while, so let's get together around 3:00 this afternoon."

Meet just to meet.

There were also several positions within that company that could have just been titled, "Executive Email Forwarder". That's all that person did...was just receive email from sources outside of the department, and forward them to everyone in the department.

I even had a boss once that got angry at an outside contractor for copying everyone in our department on his incoming messages....as opposed to just sending it to her....so that she could forward it to everyone in the office...with a "fyi" at the beginning of it.
man, i wish i had the show "the office" as a reference point when i did my school project :)

i hate the fyi thing as the people who tell me something after that statement think and act as if they are god ... the next time someone does an fyi to me i should ask them if:

1) they made the world in 7 days
2) if women fake orgasms

...and umm, well, the rest of the info in the world is just stupid commentary!
