A meeting

Attended a 3 hr meeting today. The meeting is for all upper management to come together to prepare a yearly report on the company's previous and present working processes, and look for areas for improvement to work on in the following year. I had to take care of a small portion, 2 out of 4 sub-sub-parts, of 4 sub-parts, of 5 main parts. Very small percentage of the entire report but they needed me to be around in case there is any questions. 2 hrs and 45 mins past discussing portions irrelevant to me, before the meeting came to my portion. It had taken longer as the boss came in half way, and they had to update her. She added her inputs, they discuss again.... Everyone was so eager to end the meeting, nobody questioned what I did or did not do. I did not speak a single word at the meeting.
It was good initially when real problems were identified and rectified. But after a few years, we sort of went out of problems. Now i think we are trying to find problems that do not pose a problem in the first place. In addition, these problems shouldn't be too hard to solve, otherwise we will be shooting ourselves in the foot. Hahaa, no wonder everybody is overworked and low morale.
