当你有个爱开会的老板，有没有发现在工作中没有一样东西能比得上会议的数量更多的？每天都要与会议交锋，面对各种议题和讨论。有时候，会觉得公司就是开会之都！先不提会议室的洗手间比自己家还熟悉，每次进会议室都能预测到一切。那熟悉却枯燥的议程，那刺耳的闹钟声，似乎都编织了一张无聊的网络。

不过，也不能否认，会议也有它的用处。毕竟，好的会议可以推动团队的合作和创新，帮助我们更好地完成工作任务。或许，我们可以在繁忙的会议日程中，加入一些小小的趣味元素，让每个人都期待开会的时刻。比如，给最积极发言的同事颁发个“最佳发言奖”，或者在会议过程中放几次笑话来缓解紧张气氛。

总的来说，开会是我们工作中不可或缺的一环。我们可以通过一些小小的改变，让会议成为团队交流合作的快乐时光。毕竟，谁说工作不能同时兼顾乐趣呢？

在今天的音频中，Jacob和同事Aileen聊起爱开会的老板，发现大家都共同感受到了被无效会议挤占时间的痛苦。

下面让我们一起练习一下~

吐槽会多

（双人完整版）

AILEEN版

Aileen: Why does the boss like to have so many meetings? We have several every week.

Aileen：老板怎么这么爱开会啊，每周都有好几次。

Jacob: Yeah, I've almost started to consider the conference room my office.

Jacob：是啊，我都快把会议室当成自己的办公室了。

Aileen: Sometimes, I feel like we're spending 90% of the time listening to him talk about his hobbies.

Aileen：我有时候觉得我们在开会的时候，九成的时间都在听他说他的业余爱好。

Jacob: I know what you mean. He goes on and on and ends up telling us things that don't even matter.

Jacob：对啊，我也有同感。说了半天，到头来还是跟我们讲了一些毫无意义的事情。

Aileen: I don't think he has a clear agenda. We just come to listen to him ramble.

Aileen：我觉得他根本没有一个明确的议程，我们都是来听他唠叨的。

Jacob: Plus, he always makes us forget about the other work we should be doing during the meetings.

Jacob：而且，他总是让我们在会议的时候忘记自己有其他的工作要做。

Aileen: I wonder if we'd be much more efficient if we used the time we spend in meetings to actually complete tasks.

Aileen：我在想，如果我们用在开会上的这些时间来完成实际任务，会比开会效率高多了。

Jacob: Maybe he knows this but still keeps having meetings, as if that's the only solution.

Jacob：说不定他也知道这点，但还是一直要开会，好像开会就是唯一的解决方案。

Aileen: I pretend to be interested in what he says but I can't stop thinking about my unread emails.

Aileen：我假装每次都很关注他的发言，其实心里早就想着回去清点自己的邮箱了。

Jacob: Haha, same here. And every time, we end up working overtime only to come back and listen to the boss talk about something that doesn't matter.

Jacob：哈哈，我也是。而且每次都是熬夜加班，结果第二天还是要过来听老板讲一堆没用的东西。

Aileen: We need a revolution to let the boss know that our time is valuable.

Aileen：我觉得我们需要一场革命，让老板知道我们的时间很宝贵。

Jacob: But we can't offend him, after all, he's the boss of the company and we have to obey his orders.

Jacob：但是我们也不能得罪他啊。毕竟，他是公司的老板，还是要遵从他的安排。

Aileen: Right, but we can suggest more efficient solutions during the meetings and maybe he'll have to consider them.

Aileen：是啊。但是，我们也可以在会议中提出更有效率的解决方案，让他不得不考虑。

Jacob: Yes, efficient work leads to a better work environment. Let's work hard for it together!

Jacob：对，工作高效才能更快乐，让我们一起为更好的工作环境而努力吧！
