I have to agree with you, i have so many similar weeks where many add no value. I try to be critical of the invites i get and really decide if its necessary or not
Sadly, it seems that the people calling for the meetings are using them to justify their job and micromanage. The phrase “this could’ve been an email” is very real. Everyone at the table has the ability to communicate as needed when it will be the most effective.
Pro
For corporate, meetings = "busy" and people are all trying to keep their jobs and look busy.
I do politely decline meetings if there is no agenda. I ask for an agenda with context and goals for the call-- if they can't be provided I suggest a reschedule until thats been identified.
Pro
I only spend about 5 hours a week in meetings. I am being billed at a high hourly rate so my clients are less likely to waste time.
