Disorganization is the greatest frustration for workers attending business meetings, according to Opinion Research USA's first "Ouch Point" survey, a new monthly study examining tolerance thresholds in a variety of common scenarios facing Americans in both their professional and personal lives. Surprisingly, tardiness is far better tolerated by the business community than disorganization, with only four percent frustrated by meetings starting late and five percent annoyed by attendees arriving late, the survey found.

"Structured business meetings with a closely followed agenda are often the most productive, particularly when attention spans can be short," said Jeff Resnick, President of Opinion Research USA. "Our first 'Ouch Point' survey indicates that a disorganized meeting is a disengaged meeting that will rarely result in the desired outcomes."
