How To Stop Being The Office Pushover
Don’t let the meeting end until you’ve spoken
If everyone is pushy and talks over each other in meetings, you’re just going to have to shove your way in there. If you wait for an opening, you’re waiting for something that isn’t coming. If you notice the meeting coming to a close, just speak up loudly and say, “Alright well there isn’t much time left and I actually haven’t had a chance to speak.” Announcing this makes everyone else aware of their loud and pushy behavior.
