What feels like the biggest waste of time at your job? For me, it’s the endless daily Teams pings, weekly catch-ups, and having to report to upper management every week on what the team has completed. A week is such a short window, and it often feels like more time goes into reporting the work than actually doing it. Curious what others would happily eliminate from their workdays.

My biggest thing is having to constantly loop my boss in on everything only for him to take all the glory/credit. It just feels like I'm constantly passing off all of my hard work so that he can sign the dotted line and all of the credit goes straight to him. It wouldn't bother me so much but it ends up taking a lot of time each week to get all of my work basically stolen 😆

I feel you so much! Thankfully I don’t have to do that too often for my boss. It looks like your boss might have the best job, doing very little and getting all the credit!

There are various time wasters that are a source of aggravation, but the biggest of them all would have to be getting roped into meetings. At least a few times a week I'm in a meeting and wondering what I'm doing there. If I could avoid most of the meetings on the schedule I'd be happier and more productive.

Endless team pings were driving me so crazy I had to mute the repeat offenders and change the sound of my notification

We're required to hold one-on-ones twice a month. Sometimes things haven't changed between meetings so they just end up being chit-chat.

Most meetings
