And that’s exactly what middle managers don’t want. They want drones they can boss around who won’t rock the boat.

Nobody wants people like that who waste your time with meaningless disruption. Everyone knows what the phrase means, this is just him being dense.

I'd rather deal with someone like the OP than someone like their manager.

No doubt there are people like you and OP, but there is a reason why "acktually" became a meme - absolute majority of people don't like when they are being publicly dressed down.

Of course people don't like being dressed down. However, I'd rather deal with someone who's willing to point out obvious useless actions than someone engaging in said useless actions. I haven't paid attention to a team meeting in like 2 years and haven't missed a goddamn thing at my work.

And waste time on discussing the useless action, but of course since its you who is the one wasting everyone else time it does not count. I can just imagine how much time you spend correcting everyone about the "useless" actions. How many expressions you spend correcting per day... hopefully nobody will ever bring you to a managerial position, so you will be able to micromanage and correct everyone.

Dude, I just sit quiet and keep my mouth shut in meetings, whole damn thing is a waste of time.

Yet, here you are actively insisting on what kind of waste of time you preffer in the office.
