WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM YO!!?!!?
I mean..it's cool to be punctual...but don't come bothering & trying to chat with and have a "pre-meeting meeting" with the meeting host because you showed up early...

For team meetings, might not be relevant. A fair amount of time I have meetings with suits outside of my department and it's nice to get some unfiltered networking in before everyone puts their meeting energy on.

The only chatting I do is about sports or something light outside of the upcoming topic. I hate the pre-meeting chat up myself.

ill greet people but mostly mind my business until the meeting starts

but I generally try to keep quiet. I barely greet anyone unless I know the host.

and get my shit together ahead of time.

Phone Call or In person. Snoop taught michael to do it to give you a better view if it is a setup or not.

I apply the same principal at work. I get the seat I want. I get to have the pre-convo and see what's on people's mind. Its an ever so slight advantage, but I need every one I can get.

Nobody wants to be that person all late and flustered and not know what's going on.

space as the actual meeting....
It's down the hall, in a totally separate room. The conference room is where meetings are held.

Some people don't respond to emails and calls so you gotta get int heir face when you have the opportunity.

also walking in late triggers my social anxiety

I just sit there and look at my phone. I just don't wannahear my manager's mouth, and I try to get the 'good seat' - I don't want the bad-breath co-worker whispering her discrepancies..or the other one who likes to pass me snarky notes...talking to me.
