I'm not sure where this comes from, but I think there's a general tendency for people to forget things- and it be acceptable. I routinely listened and failed to follow up. Then I started to write things down and that stopped. I use lulls in meetings to review my notebook (instead of playing with my phone, etc.).
In team scenarios somebody better be taking meeting minutes or recording action items/tasks, otherwise things just don't get done.
That is a really good piece of advice, to review notes vs playing on the phone. I agree, notes need to be taken in a meeting if you want actions to be taken. We had a culture committee meeting last week and we weren't making much progress. I stood up and started taking notes. Writing down action items. I asked people who wanted to do each item. Put names next to them. Then we made sure to sure those notes against all of us. It helped a lot.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
