In exciting scenes during a staff meeting earlier today, a colleague asked a fellow meeting participant for their valued input, before immediately interrupting their answer and talking over them.
“You’ve been very quiet, and it would be great to hear your views on this one,” said the helpful meeting organiser. The targeted team member had barely got three words out before their interlocutor took over with a much better answer.
“—Yes, that’s a great point and is exactly what I was saying just now. In fact I already had this idea just weeks after I was born, such is my inherent genius,” said the meeting organiser, before continuing with a jumbled repetition of an unrelated and banal point that they had already rambled through several times during the same meeting.
“Anyway, sorry, I think I didn’t let you finish there, please continue with your valuable input,” the meeting organiser said after their interruption.
“No worries, so yeah, what I was going to say was—", the highly valued meeting participant began again.
“—I couldn’t agree more,” the meeting organiser jumped in with another helpful interlude, which continued for several minutes and covered such topics as what the meeting organiser had for breakfast, the major successes of their career so far, and how grateful everyone should be for their insightful philosophy and opinions on a wide range of irrelevant subjects.
