manifesto: conference call hold music must die
if it had happened to me only once today, i would have let it slide. but this is twice. shame on you!
if you are a meeting organizer, and you actually want people to attend your dial-in meeting, you need to meet one of the following criteria:
- configure your conference call dial-in # so that it does not play hold music at your participants until you, the master of all you survey, activate the call.
- why are you denying your participants the opportunity to talk amongst themselves until you arrive? you’re an egotistical jerk. turn that off, too.
- shouldn’t YOU be the first person to call into your own meeting? get your primadonna ass on the phone first.
now that i think about it, you should be doing at least 2 of these things. now. NOW.

Triple the price they get charged on per song play.. perhaps they will have a day of silence..
no, sadly, the music being played is easy listening from the 60’s & 70’s. probably long since worthy of charging royalties.
The IRS seems to not gotten new hold music for a decade, according to my boss. It’s already driving me nuts and I’ve only been calling for three years. I put it on speakerphone and anyone walking into my office knows that I’m on hold with the IRS. Grr.
