Dear corporate America, times have changed and the old habit of scheduling meetings just to say we met doesn’t make sense anymore. If the goal is sharing updates or decisions that can be clearly written, send the email or drop the message and give people their time back. How many hours a week do you think we’d all save if meetings actually had to earn their spot on the calendar?

Meetings and emails are often unnecessary. It’s mainly because we want consensus vs. ownership.

At least 12. I have meetings everyday and I’m not sure what the point to half of them are.

Me too

I’ve accepted an offer from a firm. Had to revise my joining date and the HR sent an email confirmation for the revised doj. I received an onboarding portal link from another HR, on their portal it’s mentioned my joining is in January which is even earlier than the joining date I received before on my OL which I got revised later on. The HR isn’t even reachable, they don’t reply to mails or pick calls. Don’t know what to do.
