Work Presentations

Are they good, bad or what?

I'll vote after I have to endure my "getting wed" one... :(

Basically I always find them an unnecessary pain in the ass. Having to get dressed up in a suit and go out and meet clients was always a major bugbear for me, and now thanks to video conferencing and the ability to email powerpoint presentations to clients, I don't have to do that anymore...yippeeeee :D

Are you talking about everyone in the office giving a gift to a colleague for one reason or another?
If so, I think they're a waste of time.

Not sure what kind of Presentation you mean but we had (when actually had staff) a tradition of collections for people leaving company when we alll have cakes with presentation on the firday afternoon. Was good to a poiunt but got boring when people leaving every week for a while...

I think we have that here too. When someone leaves, or goess off to get married, we all gather round and politley clap after the boss says a few kind words. I had when I got married (Waterford cystal- very nice!) and when I left for new office (Battling laser robots. fantastic!!)

It's mildly embarassing, but one of those things we all have to go through from time to time. :o

Congratulations Macy!! When's the big day? :)

Yeah one of those speech by boss, round of applause, presentation, then tea and coffee.

I think they're a pain in the arse, as you have to talk to people you don't like, and in this case those I do like are invited to the wedding anyway (either day or evening). I suppose it's a nice thought, but I really hate speaking in public. Mind you, didn't say much as I had a bet that I'd just say thanks. I won that one :)

Nice cheque though all the same...

I would have thought the same as you ... Annual Work Presentation, pain in the arse really but i suppose it depends on how its done and with who (is it taken seriously or is it just routine)
