It sometimes seems that a lot of people would just rather have meetings than do their work. Though, in fairness, some of them may harbor the misapprehension that meetings are indeed the work. Sometimes it feels like my greatest achievement in a week would be all the meetings I somehow managed to avoid.

So true, but what I find difficult is that I still have the same amount of work / tasks to complete every week, so the more meetings that get booked in the more difficult it becomes to get all the stuff done! We also don't get paid overtime so I refuse to work over my hours!
Don't even get me started. My manager loves the sound of her voice and will repeat herself 5 different ways in the same meeting. Like, we get it. I'm convinced her workload is so minimal that she thinks scheduling meetings daily makes her appear "busy."
Absolutely this, I think so many people think more meetings makes them appear more busy but in truth, you’re doing the exact opposite by stopping everyone else getting their work done
I wish I knew. We spend every meeting talking about all the work that needs to get done. Which is impossible to actually do, because so much of my day is eaten up by pointless meetings that leave me no time to actually do my job.

Yep, I get you. I feel like its an endless cycle.
Kind of experiencing the opposite right now. We have maybe one meeting a month, which was a dream from multiple meetings every week. Now, though, we are struggling with everyone staying on the same page. Wish we could all find the happy medium between too many and too few.
