Am I only one who works at a company where everyone treats the scheduled time for a meeting as a recommendation instead of an actual deadline? It’s making it impossible to get any work done or to manage my time.

Cue the guy who defends this practice as if we can't tell the difference between on occasional occurrence and standard operating procedure.

Bonus points if you the OP are blamed for not thinking through whether a meeting was necessary.

Is the issue teams aren’t showing up prepared?

Sounds like your team is overworked or over-scheduled. They need to manage expectations with client or agency needs to manage to hire more staff.

I guess I’m the only one. Hmm…

I am driving both me and my husband crazy. We both work from home in a 4 bedroom home pretty decent size. My husband wants to do daycare and id prefer a nanny. Thankfully money isn’t the the concern, it’s more he thinks we’ll be distracted and I am nervous about anti-vax people and rise of polio and whooping cough. We went to a daycare we liked but they did they allowed religious exceptions which makes me uncomfortable. Would love to get feedback.
