Way too many meetings as a whole. I've been apart of meetings to prepare for a meeting.... Then when it's a meeting about communication, it doesn't help anything. I think as a whole (at least where I work) less meetings would cause more productive work days.

Ohh yes! Definitely! We also have way too many as a whole.

I'd say once a week. But if something urgent comes up, we meet twice a week. It really depends on the urgency and complexity of the matter.

We don't have a specific rule on this. As long as a meeting is required, then we meet. I just do not like spontaneous meetings.

Too many, I'd say. Too many even some are not necessary. How about in your workplace?

I agree with PDS1. I think less would be better. Imagine you are just attending meetings the whole day.

Hot take - nuclear > wind/solar. It’s the only renewable energy source with enough potential to meet the energy needs. Uses less land, makes energy more efficiently, and the technology is already there and proven. Nuclear wastes are no fun but wind and solar have their own waste problems too. Thoughts?
