meeting whore

A co-worker who chooses to spend as much time as possible in meetings, often times uninvited. Usually they do this to avoid doing productive work themselves, claim credit for their team's work or at least insinuate that their leadership was critical to their success, and generally just get more face time with senior management than their hard-working colleagues.

P1: Uh, have you seen my junior assistant today?
P2: No, he seems to be in meetings all day.
P1: That is odd. I have not seen any invites on my calendar, we have a harsh deadline approaching, and I am the project leader.
P2: Yes, I would be careful. Your assistant is a meeting whore. He will have people convinced he is running the project by day's end.
