Has anyone else noticed how collaboration often means more opinions, not better ones? Meetings multiply, feedback conflicts and the actual work gets squeezed into nights and weekends. How do you create space for deep thinking in environments that over-meet?

For sure and when you get feedback that you need to be more receptive or understand stakeholders inputs it generally means that someone with a shitty idea was ignored.

Absolutely
Sometimes collaboration is code for “I don’t want to actually work just have meetings to be able to report that we are meeting about it”

I care less. Maybe that's terrible of me, but if management keeps putting me in positions where productivity is near impossible, I'm not going to fight it. That's on them.

Oh yes. Plus everyone thinks their opinion is the best opinion. So much useless back-and-forth and at the end of the day, we usually end up with whatever idea was pushed by the loudest person not the best idea.
