I ain't climbing and I know why

Like many other meetings which I absolutely hate attending, today was no different. I had townhall session which my "grand" presence along with other colleagues were required to attend.

1stly, I do question the rationale of having us to attend since we are not exactly part of the organisation. We are referred to as "Contractors". So basically, we the contractors are paid a sum of money to do a particular job, after the end of it, likely, it is time for the organisation to say "thank you for your excellent service rendered the past year, however your services are not required anymore".

2ndly, why do I have to put myself through to listen to the load of crap that the "higher power" have to say when my time could be put to better use. They attempted to remind us of some fundamental themes which they would like everyone to be aware of. I can't remember all of it but I just cite you 2 examples.
1. communicate, communicate, communicate - how much talking has to be done before anything can be accomplished. becoz of this communication, amongst my colleagues and myself, we have lost a good precious 8 hrs, that is equal to 1 day of work that can be done!
2. act as 1 team - explanation of why "act as 1 team" is before you can be a true 1 team, you have to act as 1 team 1st.

The only realisation that I have is I ain't climbing fast and I know why.Do you?
