Q: How often does your company hold a meeting?
Chinese companies love meeting! My prev company used to have meeting 3-4x week, 2-3x day. Fortunately, my current job requires me to attend meeting every Wednesday, but after work which the meeting usually lasts for almost 2 hours since I have to participate the Chinese meeting. Cool!
12 years 24 weeks ago in Business & Jobs - China
Most of Taiwan company love meeting . I worked as the assistant mangger for a Taiwan factory 2 years ago ,i have to attend 2 times meeting ,every meeting is about 1 hours in one day ,and i have to attend 2.5 hours meeting every Friday and 1 hours morning meeting twice once month .
Where are u from ?
Hard to do the math there, but that's a lot. Meetings I had before I ate most of the work hours lol
I'm from the Philippines, residing in Shanghai. and u?
they love their meetins. my school has 3 meetings a week. but only for the chinese staff, one for english teachers one for chinese techers and one for both. somtimes they go on for hours. i see it as a giant waste of time since they dont ever seem to do anything. if they make some sort of decition in one meeting they change it on the next. and for what ive seen its mosty the "leader" who does all the talking
RRainier:
Right on that! I remember the GM of the company I worked before. She would sit on the desk and blabber. OK, sorry since i dont understand chinese and she still kept on going. then would ask us foreigners if we have any questions. We smile and say, we are all damn good. lol
This college has meetings, but I don't know when they are or how long because I don't have to go. Woohoo! 
RRainier:
College? Studying Mandarin eh? Which university? I'm curious. and what a surprise even students meet!!! I just snuck out of the meeting lol
Jnusb416:
I'm not a student. I teach English here. I was told at the beginning of the school year that I wouldn't have to go because they only speak in Mandarin and I wouldn't understand. That's fine with me.
