I opened my calendar today and realised I had scheduled meetings on top of meetings about meetings. No actual work was harmed in the making of this Tuesday 😅 What is the most pointless meeting you have sat through in 2026 so far?

I’ve totally been there. Those days packed with meetings are the most exhausting. We had to sit through a two-hour meeting recently, going over the same things we’ve discussed countless times before. It felt like beating the same horse—talking in circles, and yet nothing ever changes.

Did they conclude by saying we need another meeting ... Ooh I have had a meeting where they read the minutes of the last meeting... That was it .. nothing else

It’s my pet hate having meetings that literally could have been an email! And why do they take up so much unnecessary time, that I come out of there and feel so unmotivated sometimes!
