I like to think when someone annoys him or bothers him over minor things or just piss him off then with a smile on his face he brings out his ukulele as he sings to them a song basically just telling them that he has no more fucks to give.
These songs perfectly capture one of the truly beautiful things about this point in time: we all have access to a truly staggering number of musical styles AND the means of sharing whatever glorious mashups of style & content with the entire world. Stuff like this makes living at the end of the livable part of humanity on earth enjoyable 👍👍
@@hinoakuma6386 Hey dont blame me. my college bookstore alone spams my email 2-3x a day with deals, our weekly activities board spams me once a day, I get over a dozen emails from people that just send it to everyone in their department (biology) I have news updates and all that. without professors, I get let 15 emails a day and thats low balling it. with professors its the occasional email or two. So when on average the important emails are like 5%, you'll have excuse me if I miss one.
I sent this to my boss the other month. He has started sending emails from that point onwards. Edit and update. I moved to another location due to having much closer to work and at the first meeting useless I sent this to my new boss. They took in the criticism and we had a poll to either have weekly meetings or just the boss putting a postit note on the board. Every single person voted for the later and the boss even got a lot more energy from it due to not needing to be tip top shape for weekly meetings.
Right? I've rarely had to attend a work meeting where my time could not have been spent in far better and more productive ways. Like staring at the wall watching paint dry. And don't get me started on mandatory after-hours meetings for the whole department or company where the bosses and the middle-management all stand there presenting shit we all knew already as if it's some glorious bloody revelation!
Today I got a phone call summoning me to a meeting with a former client. The flunky on the phone did not know the reason for the meeting. He'll be sending me an e-mail with the proposed agenda, upon receipt of which I will decide whether to attend. And then, this comes up in my feed. Thank you Mr Wild.
Ah...no. One of the reasons why I left my last job. Too many meetings over several hours. Too many times the boss just left us there whilst receiving an "urgent" call on his mobile phone, being gone for 1+hour. And other such nice things. As soon as our house was paid off, I told him I had enough of that and left. Most likely never will get a job again, but oh well...was worth it.
So many companies where friends of mine are working: "It is of EXTREME AND UTMOST IMPORTANCE that you are there IN PERSON. A call will not do it! You have to attend in person! Otherwise everything will fail and the company breaks down!" Have to fly around the globe over and over again... Lo and behold, you don't have to 😱🤯
Bonus points because if you don't follow up this meeting with an email outlining the key points and any actions required I will likely forget literally everything you just said and go on with my life as though this never happened.
Kinda waiting for the moment where he just loses it and ends with “PUT IT IN AN F***ING EMAIL!” while bludgeoning the offender into pulp with his banjo...
Oh my gosh, yes... This, right here, needs to be sent to every manager ever! Lockdown hasn't let me escape meetings - they now hold "daily catch-ups". The plus side of meetings via the phone (thankfully no video required) is that I can nap without worrying about being noticed... (I have fallen asleep during more than one boring meeting when actually in the office, so....)
Love this it is a perfect example of my work. Would you be able to write a song about 'spuddle'? Spuddle: a useful verb from the 17th century that means to work feebly and ineffectively, because your mind is elsewhere or you haven't quite woken up yet. Keep up the great music.
I instantly thought of this song today when my boss called a Teams meeting that lasted 60 seconds to tell us that after months of being understaffed and needing overtime and being denied it, overtime is finally approved now that we are fully staffed and don't have the work to justify it 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
If this lockdown has proved anything it is that long meetings that produce no results can just as easily be done over the computer as in person. The meetingers always find a way to waste everyones time, now added by technical issues and bad microphone discipline.
Not to mention the young, old, and inbetweeners that whine about "white space" on a company site they use because it's "not efficient" enough to follow security rules. And they've been there a long ass time. Yup. And I mean the jerks that bring the whole teams morale and patience down to nearly zero when they(not the whining prick)are trying to get real work done.
Ah, but it's also proven that the employees who are stuck in those meetings can more discreetly check their social media or do their actual jobs while waiting for the yammering to stop.
I'm sending this to opposing counsel to my court case, who tried to call me last week for a meet and confer. I hung up on her. This will be my follow up email.
OMG!! I love you Thomas Benjamin!! This is every meeting at every workplace I have ever had!! I am also 40ish musical comedian with an eclectic sense of humour.. let me know if you ever want to get virtually pants drink together. Thank you for existing!!! LMFAO!!!
When I pointed out that our sales goals were completely unrealistic, downright impossible based on the data presented, I was told I was too smart to be motivated. Now I have a job where I do the same boring stuff, but it's not to make the company money, it's to help make the roads safer in the country. The unrealistic goal is a reduction in traffic accidents, not revenue streams. Turns out that's way more motivating. Also; never had a meeting about it.

When he asked...could you really not just put this in an email?.... i felt that
I'd like to point out that, as you all surely well know, he also has a song called point blank "Stop Being An Arsehole"...
The urge to send this to my uni lecturers is... ever increasing...
You say this like relevant uni emails don't remain forgotten and burried under all the spam from the student union and university
The amount of times students ignore the emails we send... honestly... why would most lecturers bother.
*Do it*
Meanwhile the uni lecturers are saying the same thing about sending this to administrators...

You're savage. lol
😂😂😂😂 that’s hilarious
This is still relevant.
Eveytime i watch this man sing I smile brightly! Thank you for making my day!!
I just discovered him an hour ago and my cheeks hurt from grinning so broadly
Amen to that
I adore this. It sums up pretty much every “essential” meeting I’ve ever attended.

Remove the "essential". Its every meeting.
.....Aaaaaand the theme song for 2022.
This also applies to endless ZOOM meetings...
Actually I am not sure if he actually means Zoom Meetings or Meetings in rl...
You're my favourite human being at this point in time.
As a fellow educator my man here is definitely a teacher at his day job...
As an engineer, I thought he was in my field
LOL The best part is when you're in the meeting and it has nothing to do with you or your course/department.
@@hinoakuma6386 or the "Have to ask a million and one personal questions that could be asked privately" people in the pointless meeting.
@@texastwostepgaming aight i actually haven't experienced that one. Cuz I hella don't want them asking it in an email either LOL
As an IT admin, I get ya!! Also howdy from Austin!

Why is he not more popular? He's amazing! His songs are fantastic!
Niche audience. 🤷♂️
@@LungsOutJem Comedy music really is.

The combo of old timey sounding music and lyrics about modern technology is brilliant!! The contrast is fantastic!
This is my favourite of your songs because I have one of these meetings Every Bloody Week...
Turns out, they could have!
--Love, 2020

Lo and behold, you don't have to 😱🤯
They're trying to go back to useless meetings... and it's not working.
Hollywood needs to use you in movies as a pop-up singing commentator. Like a Greek chorus with a banjolele.
Bonus points because if you don't follow up this meeting with an email outlining the key points and any actions required I will likely forget literally everything you just said and go on with my life as though this never happened.
ah.. so i am not the only one :) that gives me comfort haha..
cheers from a -cubicle- homeoffice desk on the other side of the planet
100% the anthem of my office and 1000% want this on the next album!
It's already out on his latest album
This gentleman is very talented ... and actually scares me a little bit.
My favourite part is how he smiles the whole time he is singing.
This is painfully relatable 😅 so many irritating, useless meetings, and no reason an email wouldn’t have been more than enough.
I play this to my co-workers when our boss does this. EVERY time!
Brilliant,mate. This sould be the office workers union's anthem.
"Could you really not just put them in an email?! Could you really just not put them in a email?" 👏🤣
Kinda waiting for the moment where he just loses it and ends with “PUT IT IN AN F***ING EMAIL!” while bludgeoning the offender into pulp with his banjo...
U cannot have a frown while listening to this man it's utterly impossible
I simply f****** love this!
I'm so glad there's no swearing in this. That means I can play it at work and not get in too much trouble.

His music really does make life a bit more bearable like a musical Hershey kiss love it
This is a whole mood. TY
Anyone who currently or has ever worked in corporate can appreciate this. Good job, sir.
You are a genius Sir
I expect a minor epidemic of people anonymously mailing this to coworker or management accounts.
Very apt after my day.
Ha ha, wonderful. Lived this in a past life way too many times.
I feel this, I feel this in my soul!
you are a hero that we dont deserve to, I`ve already bought a t-shirt with "I survived another meeting that should be an email"
its a good mix of relatible and classic...... i am grateful sir for your music at peace i be now thanks friend
Thomas' facial expressions capture the energy of the song so perfectly.
"and for fucks sake please just put this in a E-Mail!! Thank you very much!!"
In such a meeting currently and TH-cam recommends me this.
Absolutely spot on! 🤣
This is the perfect anthem for my company. Especially the "Dead Inside" part.
He's my hero.
there's something magical about these songs
Excellent. You have clearly been to my workplace...
Perfect new ringtone for my work phone, cheers! :)
I can have a crappy day/week/month and when I listen to this music it puts me in a much better mood thank you very much
I just lost my only child last week, and this made me laugh cry. Thank you for that!
Thank you!
Yes, oh, yes!!!
Sent to my dad and one of his co-workers I'm friendly with.
Definitely the Dilbert of Song - sheer brilliance 😃
I have learned most of your songs like this just to use them when I am frustrated
I would love ❤️ it if you would create an updated EXPLICIT version. The current version is a little polite for some responses. 😂
Love this it is a perfect example of my work.
Would you be able to write a song about 'spuddle'?
Spuddle: a useful verb from the 17th century that means to work feebly and ineffectively, because your mind is elsewhere or you haven't quite woken up yet.
Keep up the great music.
today i learned a new word
Great song! So on point especially for educators (like myself). We have online meetings for no reason and it COULD HAVE BEEN PUT IN AN EMAIL!!!
You're songwriting is consistently phenomenal!
man u made me laugh in the midst of these crazy years we live in an for that i salute u wonderfull man, keep going please
this is perfect for soooo many companies I've seen do this same thing, useless, waste of time meetings, that detract from actual work getting done
Spot on Sir!!!
You are just brilliant.
As someone who works in teaching, I can relate to this so much.
So great !

Story of my work life! Well done sir. Well done
I feel this in my bones.
you bring that feeling that the songs in older movies (1970' to 1980's) had. i now want to watch old movies XD
You're awesome sir! Thanks for this
The man's just singing what we all feel inside :)
Can't relate.
@@IrelandVonVicious Then I guess either you never worked in an office, or you're one of the people he's singing about...
@@keepinmahprivacy9754 You guessed wrong.
@@IrelandVonVicious So you enjoy pointless office meetings?
@@keepinmahprivacy9754 Never been part of them.
Voice of a generation
You sing what I feel!
You remind me of a new "Monty Python" world and I love it
Always make me smile thank you for contributing your lyrical genius and humor.

Yeah. I now have about 3x the mandatory meetings that I used to.
Not to mention the young, old, and inbetweeners that whine about "white space" on a company site they use because it's "not efficient" enough to follow security rules. And they've been there a long ass time. Yup. And I mean the jerks that bring the whole teams morale and patience down to nearly zero when they(not the whining prick)are trying to get real work done.

Nice song. Could have just been an email, though.
This guy is a *treasure*!
It would be meta to email this to someone
I'm sending this to opposing counsel to my court case, who tried to call me last week for a meet and confer.
I hung up on her.
This will be my follow up email.
I bet you get told "You're my Spirit Animal" a lot.
God damn right! Put it in an e-mail!
Just about every meeting I've sat through for the last year.
OMG!! I love you Thomas Benjamin!! This is every meeting at every workplace I have ever had!! I am also 40ish musical comedian with an eclectic sense of humour.. let me know if you ever want to get virtually pants drink together. Thank you for existing!!! LMFAO!!!
Sweet, studio version! One of the most relatable songs about work in existence!
if you work in an office this is an essential song to listen to at least 3 times a day
This song is my spirit animal
I love your music, dude! Brightens my day. Keep rocking it, man! :)
Awesome ditty, my man! I have shared it far and wide!
I wana hear that voice sing I dont want to set the world on fire
Ladies and gentlemen I think we have a modern day tiny Tim hot damn love his songs
I can totally relate to this. lol And I would like to thank you for the videos you post. They always put a smile on my face. I truly enjoy them. :D
I love your music. It always makes me smile. Not to mention the genuine smile you have on your face is wonderfully happy.
Your voice is a soothing as lying in a bed of freshly washed sheets in a house by the beach with the sounds of light rain upon the roof
Wish I had the guts to send this to my Communications prof, thank goodness for automatic video transcripts.
