How many meetings a week do you find necessary when there aren't any special launches and/or campaigns?

For me one meeting a week is enough if there are no urgent issues to handle, I don't like to waste my time or make others waste their time in meetings that don't get anywhere.

On some occasions we hold two meetings a week, but this does not apply to all occasions depending on the issues to be handled and the urgency of the same.

I find that I need about two meetings a week to stay on top of things. They help me organize at the beginning of the week and also on Wednesdays to reassess whatever is needed.

It really depends on what the team is working on and what their goals are. If we're just trying to keep the momentum going on our current projects, then maybe one meeting a week is enough. But if we're trying to launch a new campaign or product, then we might need more than one meeting per week.

I don't find any necessary. Meetings are often a waste of time and my company has made it clear that unless 100% necessary, meetings are a no-go.

Super interesting. I have 1-4 meetings a day. From one on ones with manager, demand planning, segment updates, retailer updates etc. don’t have special launches but there’s always something going on, projects moving to discuss.

Interviewed for a GS-15 (same agency but different office) and totally aced the interview with excellent answers. They know I’m a top performer with senior references. However I noticed there was an internal candidate who has been there for few years and interviewed that’s a veteran. I feel my chances just sank and want to gauge thoughts.

Who is still in denial about a housing correction? The Fed just made another .75% increase. Powell said they won’t stop until inflation is 2%. He also said a recession would be better than the consequences of unchecked inflation. He announced he will bring rates to a “restrictive level” until “the job is done”. He said that labor demand needs to soften (ie: layoffs). He very explicitly said he wants to slash demand and that housing needs a “correction”.

Venting a bit: Are you finding DEI groups at work overrun with allies. Is there also an increase in celebrating said allies? Is it just me?

Most of the groups I'm in (esp. event teams) are being taken over by allies wanting to do what they think should be done to 'celebrate' whatever topic the month is, usually speaking over marginalized coworkers and rarely consulting with them. It seems like the only time this doesn't happen is for gay (usually yt) men or BHM. I'm just feeling so...minimized.

Let's discuss, what do you think of the LSAT becoming optional or the ABA abolishing it all together? Looks like it'll be gone by 2025.
