Don't Be That Guy...

Yeah. Um...the guy at the meeting of high-powered finance executives from across the region whose phone goes off in the middle of the meting because he hasn't turned it off or set it to mute? Don't be that guy.

The middle-aged guy who has the rap-song ring-tone talking about how delicious someone's booty is? Don't be THAT guy either.

The guy who comes in late to the meeting, then gets all sloppy at the buffet, spilling his hastily thrown together pancakes onto the floor. Their pancakes. It's not like you're wrestling grunions. Again. Just don't be that guy.

The guy who asks a question that was just answered three minutes ago, and he would have kept it to himself had he been listening? Don't be that guy.

Seriously. It's a business meeting. And, if you're reading this and wondering what's wrong with ANY of those, you already ARE that guy. Maybe we should talk. Seriously. Your coworkers, your family and your career will thank me.

Were you that guy today, or were you simply a witness?
